Castle in the Sky
"The Mechanical Monsters" is referenced in works such as Hayao Miyazaki's animated film "Castle in the Sky" and the more modern short "World of Tomorrow" (2003) by director Kerry Conran, and his 2004 feature film "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (also released by Paramount), based on the short, in both cases, in which an army of robots attack New York City.
