This is also an action-adventure tale, but it is a much tighter plotted and more memorable production overall. Both are nonetheless beautifully animated and gorgeously scored, and have excellent dubbing overall.

Many fans often compare Hayao Miyazaki's high-flying adventure tale "Castle in the Sky" to "Nadia" because it shares many similarities: girl with pendant, boy who loves to build planes, a not-so-evil group of bungling bandits, and a truly ruthless villain. The outline of the plot in both works are similar in many ways as well. Having said that, I think "Laputa" is superior to "Nadia" in terms of its overall flow. Clocking in at two hours, there's no room for the story to derail itself, it's consistently entertaining, and it moves along at a breakneck pace. Granted its characters are a bit more "archetypal" than "Nadia"'s with the possible exception of Dola, but that's hardly a negative. Every second of this movie is a treat. "Nadia", by contrast, would have been so much better if it were cut down to at least 30 episodes.

Many concepts that were used in "Nadia" would be recycled in "Evangelion", a darker and bleaker series, produced by the same team.
