Miyazaki's follow-up to “Nausicaa” was the 1986 “Laputa: Castle In the Sky (Tenku no Shiro Laputa),” a fantastic adventure tale inspired by “Gulliver's Travels” about a search for the lost flying island of Laputa. In order to produce “Laputa,” Miyazaki and Takahata launched their new animation studio, Studio Ghibli, in 1985.
