Movie has elements from all genres of modern anime. Artwork is well done and thought provoking. Story is a little slow to start but once everyone's on the same page, is really entertaining flick.

Anything by Studio Ghibli is worth owning, especially those directed my Miyazaki. Nausicaa is by far one of the best and most loved by our family for quite a while. I loved it when I saw it in the early 90's in its original japanese format, and my children love the Disney version. I bought this one, because my kids scratched a previous one from watching it so much. I wonder what took them so long to see that this studio has made films that go beyond most of what they come out with in scope and creativity. Also worth checking out is My Neighbor Totoro, Pon Poko, Grave of the Fireflies, Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle, and much more. go to Nausicaa.net to find out more. Seriously, this is a beautiful film worthy of your time.Read full review
I would give Nausicaa of the valley of the wind a 10/10 stars. The story follows Nausicaa, a princess from a future where man has ruined the planet by way of creating massive war machines that burnt the earth. In the fallout, the plants of the planet have become toxic to humans. The planet is run by giant insectoids called Ohms. The movie follows Nausicaa through adventures that she must overcome to not only save her people, but the entire way of life she and those in her time are accustomed to. She must appease the Ohms, save her city, and stop a brewing war between rival clans. once you have seen any movie by Miyazaki your going to love them, so far i have Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky. and im still adding on
Originally released in America in a shortened version called "Warriors of the Wind" back in 1984, this movie includes twenty-two minutes of additional footage and remains true to Hayao Miyazaki's original form. It has absolutely wonderful animation, filled with lovable characters, beautiful visionary scenes of Nature gone wild, giant insects, futuristic flying machines, and a lovely idyllic land called the Valley of the Wind. At the center of it all is Princess Nausicaa, one of the most amazing and courageous heroines I have ever seen, who fulfills a wondrous prophecy in a most unexpected way. The music is masterfully written, and is at times haunting, beautiful, and even whimsical. The story is the most inspiring I have found for any movie, and it has the ultimate happy ending!
In all honesty I give this movie a solid 5/5 rating. It is one of the best Studio Ghibli films that has been released by Disney to date, period. It has a near epic feel to it. The story follows Nausicaa, a princess from a future where man has ruined the planet by way of creating massive war machines that burnt the earth. In the fallout, the plants of the planet have become toxic to humans. The planet is "run" by giant insectoids called Ohms. The movie follows Nausicaa through adventures that she must overcome to not only save her people, but the entire way of life she and those in her time are accustomed to. She must appease the Ohms, save her city, and stop a brewing war between rival clans....You will not be let down by this movie!
