I recently watched the 2004 film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow film. It is a delightful homage to the 1930s and 1940s serials. As I watched the film, I was struck by what I consider several possible connections to Mickey Mouse comics.
1. The robotic soldiers of the villain resemble the robots in the 2008 story Mickey Mouse and the World to Come. Has Casty ever commented on the similarities? I tried searching for interviews but couldn't find anything in English. Some comments in Italian on Inducks mention the connection.
2. The plots were similar in the concept of scientists trying to recreate a new environment.
3. In terms of the movie borrowing from the Mickey Mouse universe, the titular hero's plane can turn into a submarine. Like Mickey's plane in the Pirate Submarine. I tried searching to see if the story was a source of inspiration but couldn't find anything.
4. Mickey's pilot outfit is nearly identical to the Sky Captain's garb.
Whatever the inspirations, all three stories are classics.
