Of Machines and Miyazaki
Has anyone else noticed a slight resemblance between Dr. Evermor's Forevertron:
and Howl's Moving Castle:
?
Just thought I'd ask.
(The former being the 400-ton centerpiece to Dr. Evermor's scrap-sculpture heap/park in Baraboo, Wisconsin, set to blast the good doctor off into the stratosphere (!?) sometime this year, he claims -- thanks, Found The Book!)
(The latter being the titular mobile fortress in Hayao Miyazaki's latest animated wonder. A worthy reference point for this new film is Laputa: Castle in the Sky, the famed director's second solo work, completed nine years ago. The newer film is visually and narratively much more complex, but no less charming. Howl's is based on a novel by Diana Wynne Jones; this I note because Jones also penned Castle in the Air, a sequel to Howl's, but of no relation to the 1986 film. Eh?)
Update:
My mind is on a hyperlinking rampage!
Another visual comparison:
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Album artwork for Finch: "Say Hello to Sunshine" (Review forthcoming...?)
Update:
Add this to the list of derivative/resembling images, from the upcoming family fantasy film Zathura, to the list:
