Castle in the Sky - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Fox squirrels from "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" can be seen on Laputa.

These creatures, particularly Teto from the earlier film, make a brief appearance among the animals living peacefully in Laputa's gardens. This serves as a small nod to Miyazaki's previous work and connects the two films thematically through their shared reverence for nature.
