About this movie

Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner* Hayao Miyazaki, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is an epic masterpiece of sweeping scope and grandeur that remains one of the most breathtaking and exhilarating animated films of all time. A thousand years after the Seven Days of Fire destroyed civilization, warring human factions survive in a world devastated by atmospheric poisons and swarming with gigantic insects. The peaceful Valley of the Wind is nestled on the edge of the Toxic Forest and led by the courageous Princess Nausicaä, whose love of all living things leads her into terrible danger, as she fights to restore balance between humans and nature. Featuring the voices of Alison Lohman, Uma Thurman, Patrick Stewart, Edward James Olmos and Shia LaBeouf.

Strikes a message of Truth then when the movie came out, just like all of Miyazaki's films & even more so now. Pretty sure my girls learn more about the world from these films than they do in School.

Been in love with this movie since I first saw it in the early 90's. Loved it when Disney released it on DVD and now can finally add it to my digital collection. If you love Hayao Miyazaki then this is a must see movie. The imagination, visual imagery, and storytelling are some of the best that. I have been waiting for years for this to be release on digital content.

I love this film. However, younger viewers might find the violence and thematic themes to be upsetting. Also, Princess Nausicaa's screaming is loud and obnoxious.
