What's left behind the scenes

  • The squirrel-foxes – squirrel-foxes from Laputa – first appeared in Miyazaki's work "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind".
  • The robot from Laputa is identical to the robot that previously appeared with Miyazaki’s involvement in “Lupin III,” in the episode “Farewell, Beloved Lupin.” A full-scale model of this robot is located on the roof of the Studio Ghibli Museum in Tokyo.
  • Hayao Miyazaki borrowed the word “Laputa” from Jonathan Swift (“Gulliver’s Travels”). Swift, in turn, likely took it from Spanish, where it means “prostitute.” Therefore, in Spanish-speaking countries and the United States, the film was shown without the offensive word in the title.
  • The name "Sita" and a number of legends used in the film are borrowed from Indian folklore.
  • Studio Ghibli was founded by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata specifically to create this film.
  • When creating the image of the mining town, Hayao Miyazaki drew on his memories of visiting Wales. The director, a former trade union leader, was particularly impressed by stories of worker protests against mine closures, which are reflected in the film.
