The film shows a number of art film inspirations, with Oshii himself mentioning Creator/AndreiTarkovsky as a major influence (which is reflected in the quote above). While ''Angel's Egg'' was a [[BoxOfficeBomb financial and critical flop]] on release, it would be rediscovered by Western anime fans in the 1990s, becoming a CultClassic, which in turn influenced later opinions on it in Japan. It also had a notable impact on other animators of the time, partly because several of the animators who worked on it would later go on to work for Creator/StudioGhibli.

* DubInducedPlotlineChange: The earliest release of the film in English was in the form of ''Film/InTheAftermathAngelsNeverSleep'', which is more or less a different film entirely, roughly half of which made up of ''Angel's Egg'' footage, and the other half was newly-produced, ''live-action'' footage, which attempted to weld a more conventional post-apocalyptic story onto the very enigmatic plot of the original.
