IMHO, whether the "The" is capitalized there depends on how the title is 
parsed.  If it's two phrases "Sky Captain" and "The World of Tomorrow" 
merged then the "The" is capitalized, OTOH if it's one phrase, "Sky 
Captain and the World of Tomorrow", possibly with a comma after 
"Captain", then it's not.
