For some reason, this is often credited as Miyazaki's first movie even though he was clearly billed as the director of "The Castle Of Cagliostro" from 1979. For whatever the order, this is a wonderful film. I seriously think that this guy never had the same premise twice. This was apparently his attempt at a movie in a post apocalyptic world. Given the presence of giant insects and a giant resurrected body, I guess you could also consider this his try at a giant monster movie. For whatever he was trying, he got it right! The animation is as wonderful as ever. He's created such a beautiful world for us to look at, even though it does take place in a pretty dark world. I admit it was great to at least see that giant thing get at least two blasts at the giant insects at the end. I love these creatures. Even though it's not that relevant to the story, I like the fox-squirrel that appears. Seriously, it looks like an early pokemon. Wow, I wish this guy would work on the next pokemon movie! You get strong emotions and a nice environmental message which is rarely done well. ***1/2

it's a beautiful movie the setting is beautiful, the characters are well drawn as all ghilibi movies do. i love my neighbor totoro, kiki's delivery service, cat returns and porco rosso. unfortunately i cant enjoy this movie because the way an army is presented.spoilerAsbel on a small plane taking down a whole fleet of planes. utter nonsense. first in reality no way a fleet consists only of transport planes, transport planes will always be protected with a squadron of fighter air crafts. the villagers with nothing but spirit successfully fighting back helpless tolmekian army.why these two scenes in this movie. reflects what Japanese audiences are looking the entertainment. the meaning of asbel scene is a newcomer can take down the old establishment. the meaning of villagers scene is that people who go to small universities can beat those people who go to elite universities like Tokyo University, Waseda and Keio.

One thousand years have passed since the Seven Days of Fire, an apocalyptic war that destroyed civilization and created the vast Toxic Jungle, a poisonous forest swarming with giant mutant insects. In the kingdom of the Valley of the Wind, a prophecy predicts a saviour "clothed in blue robes, descending onto a golden field, to join bonds with the great Earth and guide the people to the pure lands at last". Nausicaä, the princess of the Valley of the Wind, explores the jungle and communicates with its creatures, including the gigantic, armored trilobite-like creatures called Ohm. She hopes to understand the jungle and find a way for it and humans to co-exist.

In 1984, Hayao Miyazaki released this awesome movie. In 1985, unfortunately, a studio heavily edited the film, and until 2005, it was the only copy of the film with English dubbing. But thanks to Disney, Nausicaa can now be enjoyed in its original story, timeless yet powerful. 1,000 years after an event where giant warriors incinerated the Earth, a toxic jungle spreads, threatening the survival of humanity. A young warrior/pacifist/princess Nausicaa, loves to explore this toxic jungle. Then, one night, a ship crashes by the kingdom, and a giant warrior embryo is onboard. Another kingdom then takes over the valley, and Nausicaa is taken hostage. In a turn of events, Nausicaa finds a secret under the jungle, and must stop the Tolmekians from destroying it. The film is a well put together film. The animation stands out very well, and the film is awesome. The film is a visual masterpiece. It is perfect. It had me captivated from start to finish. My highest rating, goes to Nausicaa.
