Was ALBERTO from PIXAR’S LUCA inspired by FUTURE BOY CONAN?

Things that make you go “hmmmmm”.
Was Alberto from Pixar’s LUCA inspired by Miyazaki’s FUTURE BOY CONAN? Probably not but one cannot help to notice some similarities between the 2 characters. Both are boys roughly the same age, both are vivacious and outgoing and both have similar clothing. I know I am probably way off base here but being a fan of both the movie and series I cannot shake an eerie feeling that someone was inspired by Miyazaki’s under-rated classic. What do you think? Am I crazy or does it make you go “hmmmmm”.
