Hayao Miyazaki said, "I want to make an adventure story in which a young hero keeps fighting for his dreams. At the time I was convinced that this theme was not attractive to the audience. Although after a while, many people said, "I like " "Castle in the Sky", but when it was released in theaters, there were very few viewers. When a man gets a job or a certain position, he is regarded as an adult. For women, body image can make her role established. , And for men, they need invisible things such as social status and fate to support. Therefore, it is difficult for young laborers like Baru to attract audiences to the cinema. But I hope it can be produced again. A film depicting young heroes at the age of 8 and 9. Boys often live tragically in the world. For them, life in this world is so hard."

Col. Muska: How appropriate that we've ended up in the throne room.
[forcefully]
Col. Muska: Now get over here!
Sheeta: This is no longer a throne room. This is a tomb for the both of us. You see, a king without compassion does not deserve a kingdom. You will *never* possess the crystal! You and I will die here, together. Now I understand why the people of Laputa vanished. This is a song from my home in the valley of Gondoa that explains everything. It says, "Take root in the ground, live in harmony with the wind, plant your seeds in the winter, and rejoice with the birds in the coming of spring." No matter how many weapons you have, no matter how great your technology might be, the world cannot live without love.
Col. Muska: [Muska shoots off Sheeta's pigtail] Laputa will live. I will return it to life! Laputa's power is the dream of all mankind!
[he shoots off her other pigtail]
Col. Muska: Your ears are next... unless you get on your knees and obey me!
[menacingly]
Col. Muska: I command you, GIVE ME THAT STONE!
Pazu: Stop right there, Muska!
[appears with a cannon in hand]
Pazu: I've hidden the stone. If you do anything to harm Sheeta, you'll never get it back.
Sheeta: No, Pazu, listen! Run away before he kills you as well as me!
Col. Muska: Look who's here. Why don't you give me the stone, and the girl will live. Otherwise, I'll kill her!
[mockingly]
Col. Muska: Are you planning on fighting me? Go ahead, use that cannon you can hardly lift!
Pazu: You can have the stone if you let me talk to Sheeta.
Sheeta: [with desperate pathos] No, Pazu! Get out of here, and THROW THE CRYSTAL AWAY!
Col. Muska: I'll give you one minute, starting now.

[when Pazu and Sheeta are preparing to launch in the kite]
Dola: Are you up there, Sheeta, my dear?
Sheeta: Yes.
Dola: Best ya come down right now!
Sheeta: But why?
Dola: Uh? 'Cause you're a GIRL! A FEMALE! That's MAN'S work!
Sheeta: But YOU'RE female, Captain! And I was born up in the mountains, I can do this.
Pazu: No, Sheeta!
Sheeta: Be quiet!
[to Dola]
Sheeta: And Pazu agrees with me!
[Dola laughs hysterically]
