Visually, Sheeta and Pazu are extremely stylized, with the wide round eyes and slight, linear features of Saturday-morning cartoon characters. They are after Sheeta's blue amulet, which emits brilliant aquamarine rays and enables her to float safely through the air when she falls from a plane. Here the heroine is an orphan girl named Sheeta, who is chased by evil agents of an unnamed government and by a comic family of air pirates. Though the name Laputa refers to the island that flies through the air in ''Gulliver's Travels,'' the film borrows only the concept of a hovering land of great scientific accomplishment. ''Laputa,'' playing today and tomorrow at Film Forum 2, may have a hard time finding its ideal audience. Yet this two-hour story about a lost princess, a flying island and space pirates is liable to strain the patience of adults and the attention spans of children. Its detailed fantasy world, including a dark turn-of-the-century mining town and candy-colored futuristic space bikes, is as alluring as any live-action film. Part science fiction and part fable, the film is the product of a culture where cartoons and comic books have a huge appeal for adults as well as children.
