Evolution of Swag: Ominous Fotress Edition

Non-Lego, but eh. First.

Elsewhere on the internet, I follow a blog that led me to this image:



Now my initial reaction was, "that's pretty cool", but on second thought, and I am always one to ask myself this, where have I seen this before?



Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (1985)
I admit to having seen this film multiple times.



Metropolis (1927)



Laputa / Castle in the Sky (1986)



The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)



Spirited Away (2001)



Steamboy (2004)

This also reminded me of the dam in "The Postman" http://www.filminamerica.com/Movies/ThePostman/postman07.jpg

Something about how they both look like they were built on a previous edifice, rather than being planned from the beginning.

Just going by the staircase down the side, I'm thinking it's mostly Spirited Away.

Jacob
Occasional driving force of the blog, self-proclaimed Lukas fanboy, and aspiring engineer, Jacob spends too much time building LEGO, not enough time practicing piano, and not nearly enough time doing school. He also enjoys long sentences. In the instance of blogging, he believes in quantity over quality, wherever quantity can be maintained.
Mike
One of the cofounders of YSAB, and the founder of YSA, Observing Mike actually being productive is a rare occasion. Mike enjoys making outlandish claims in relation to actually building, pretending he's actually sorting his collection, and making excuses for why he hasn't photographed his MOCs. In his free time he enjoys learning CSS from Spook, photography and poking badgers with spoons.
Dean
Occasional builder, occasional blogger, and full-time procrastinator. That's really the only way to describe Dean. He rarely gets anything done, but is a very active lurker. He's probably seen and liked your MOC, but just forgot he had a blog.
Erik
Erik has been through the desert on horse with no name. As a result he has all sorts interesting things to say, and you are welcome to listen if you can understand the somewhat inane babble that sprouts from his mouth. He owns a microwave oven, a custom kitchen, a refrigerator, and even a color TV. Along with his laygo, he spends his time with the people who have been able to tolerate him up to the point where he can call them his friends, as well as this blog. Erik maintains the lifestyle of yesteryear; he still plays his Nintendo 64 and even reads the newspaper (as in the kind printed on paper) from time to time. What a loser.
Now someone get these mutts away from me, you know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.
Lukas
Lukas is tall, blond, mildly OCD, and doesn't build nearly enough as he would like to, thanks to school. He has a webpage.
Spook (Tim)
The resident codemonkey and graphics person. If something isn't working correctly, it's probably his fault. Fitting to his name, he doesn't post often, but someone has to do this stuff too, right? Spook does build with laygoes, and has his own blog as well.
