While the Katamari score was appropriate, given the scale of the air castle compared to the people, I felt Pikmin was an appropriate comparsion.

I guess they had filled it up but then tied off the end? The ones I see all have the blower on continuously, so if they blew away, they'd immediately deflate.

Can be dangerous, inflatable structures getting airborne. Sorry about the downer. It was actually a magical thing to be inside of, given safe conditions.

People on the beach seem weirdly nonchalant about an enormous inflatable hell juggernaut tumbling inexorably towards them.

Oh, look at that. My head gestalted it into a bouncy castle, but it really is a bouncy waterslide wedge.

We thought today would be a good day for rolling. You should try not to bump into anything alive, but don’t worry about it too much. It won’t end the game or anything, so just relax and roll. Good luck, inchling Prince.

tigrrlily: I felt the same way (before reading your comment)... Partway through, I'm like, oh well, natural selection, Darwin award, etc, etc... Then I saw that dog, and I'm like THAT'S NOT COOL.
Leave your precious dog at home if you're going out to sea with a death wish.

Have you never heard the old adage, "a person's waterslide is their castle?" I think it's from Shakespeare.

Yeah I didn't notice that part until my third viewing, and it is so satisfying watching two flimsy structures go one on one.
