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.

Don't get me wrong, I love this movie, the animation is beautiful, my only but it's the story, kind of predictable and felt rushed in some parts, still very enjoyable to watch more than once!

Hayao Miyazaki shines in his SciFi films. It's so fresh and raw. Nausicaa is with Ghibli what The Dark Crystal was with Jim Henson. Definite must watch if you love a beautiful lore-filled world.

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.
