TRIVIA

Trivia

Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki has cited the film as a major influence.

The King's tower would be used as an inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's 'The Castle of Cagliostro'; Goro Naya, the voice of Kouichi Zenigata, would voice the King and his portrait double when 'The King and the Mockingbird' was dubbed into Japanese.
