**Actually if he did stay up there he would have Oxygen since we see in the credits that Laputa's great tree is still making Oxygen (visible via a translucent white glow around the tree) and it will probably do so until it runs out of water once it gets plenty of sun in Earths high atmosphere

Everyone seems to assume he fell to his Disney Death even though it wasn't shown (and the film wasn't shy about showing some serious falls). Sheeta and Pazu manage to cling to the roots, the number of roots there and the close proximity between the three of them makes it more than likely he could to the same. Plus it would just be super poetic for him to survive and be trapped in the very place he had spent his life searching for, while deprived of its technologies and not even having working eyes to appreciate its beauty.

[[WMG: The siege Laputa made on the earth is similar to the war the ''VideoGame/{{Journey}}'' characters waged with each other, which ultimately destroyed their civilization.]]

[[WMG: Laputa was not the only flying island, just the capital of a much larger civilization.]]
* The opening does show what appears to be mankind mining atherium, learning to use it's power, eventually having entire islands flying through the sky blanketing the world, and then some cataclysmic disaster or conflict that brought the majority of them back down to earth. Rather then being the only flying island Laputa was once the capital of an entire people living in the sky. A war broke out between Muska's ancestors, the original Romska Palo Ul Laputa who claimed rulership despite not being a member of the royal family by blood, and Sheeta's ancestors which brought most of the islands crashing back down to earth. It was only after the war that Laputa was alone and frankly unable to survive so isolated the rulers abandoned it planning to eventually come back... but then finding peace on the surface and never actually returning.

[[WMG: Pazu is a descendent of [[Literature/GulliversTravels Lemuel Gulliver]]]]
* Pazu's father, like his ancestor, may have retreated into misanthropy. While Gulliver's reasons were due to his experiences with the Houyhnhnms and Yahoos, Pazu's father did so after society refused to believe his story about Laputa and regarded him as a fraud. This might have lead to his death at a younger age, Pazu explaining that "he died of a broken heart because nobody believed him".

* Anyone notice a similarity between the uniforms and the role the Tolmekians in Nausicaa and the military in this film?

* The robots seem to resemble the fire walkers an awful lot. Perhaps the government that wanted to use the robot managed to build the first fire walker based of of it, and so started off the events of ''Nausicaä''.
