Amazon.com:
Hayao Miyazaki gained widespread attention in Japan for his complex ecological manga series, Nausica盲 of the Valley of the Wind (1982), which he adapted for the screen two years later. One thousand years after a war devastated much of the Earth, humanity clings to existence at the fringes of a vast, polluted forest inhabited by monstrous insects. Only Nausica盲, the princess of the tiny realm of the Valley of the Wind, grasps the environmental significance of the forest. She sees beyond petty wars and national rivalries to the only viable future for the planet. In Nausica盲, Miyazaki began to explore elements he would develop more fully in his later films: daring, compassionate heroines; exciting flying sequences; colorful side characters; strong interpersonal relationships; and a call for an ecologically sustainable way of life. Nausica盲 prefigures Sheeta in Castle in the Sky and Chihiro in Spirited Away, just as the rough and ready Asbel anticipates Pazu in Castle in the Sky and Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke. For years, Nausica盲 was available in the United States only as the badly re-edited Warriors of the Wind. The new English dub from Disney presents the film in its entirety, with strong vocal performances by Uma Thurman, Patrick Stewart, Alison Lohman, and Edward James Olmos. (Rated PG: violence, frightening imagery) –Charles Solomon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Emotion-Rich Movie with Imaginative Flying Machine, Mehve.
This is one of my favorite movie from Studio Ghibli. Nausicaa is one of my favorite main character and she travels using one of my favorite flying machine, mehve, which is known as a glider. A fox-squarrel, named Teto, is a very cool “pet” that I like to call it since Teto is a friend of Nausicaa. Nausicaa cares for the environment and the laws of nature. During the flashback, I love the child singing, which is quite silly to my mind, but I don’t let that get to me. However, after I watched the entire … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great introduction to anime!
I bought this DVD with a little trepidation after reading some of the more critical reviews on Amazon. While I’m glad I read the criticisms before buying this DVD (I always find that critical reviews tell me more about the viewing experience I’m likely to have), I am really glad that they didn’t put me off buying what is undoubtedly a masterpiece of anime and a wonderful introduction to the genre.

Basically, the only anime I’ve seen until now (apart from a few episodes of various minor league … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
This movie is definately a must. There is a moral to the story regarding humans and nature, so sad for nature.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Anime 2 decades old still better than most anime of today.
When I got this, I was weary about it looking dated due to it being over 20 years old. Nothing could be farther from the truth as the animation and storyline put to shame most other animated movies of today. Really awesome and entertaining movie.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Early Yet Timeless Masterwork
This was the second Hayao Miyazaki film I saw back around the 80s (the first was ‘Castle of Cagliostro’). I first saw this film around 1986, two years after its release back in 1984. I found the structure and pacing of this story remarkable and very rare for an animated film at that time. The story and drama unfolds slowly, almost peacefully. Later, the drama and action unexpectedly builds to an unforgettable and jaw-dropping climax. “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” is a great motion picture, a cinema classic, … Read More
