DVD Reviews of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

DVD Review: outstanding
Summary: 4 Stars

I have been searching for this movie for over 10 years. It was one of my mothers as well as one of my favorite movies to share together. Unfortunately it was on an old beta tape and I could not find it anywhere, until I checked your web site. So thank you very much.

DVD Review: What is this?
Summary: 4 Stars

I ordered this for my 14-year old daughter's birthday and have no idea what it is or what it's about. She enjoyed it very much, though, which is all that I care about.

DVD Review: Why Hayao Miyazaski Anime is Diffferent
Summary: 4 Stars

Hayao Miyazaki's movies always has complex and interesting characters. His understanding of female characters in particular s multi faceted and complex. He greats the big bangs and noise, but he always interested ultimately how do people live in peace and grow as people. This is why his moviesm are so different than others.

DVD Review: Can't go wrong with Miyazaki
Summary: 5 Stars

Yet another great Miyazaki film. No need to qualify "great" with "animated". Miyazaki-san is a wonderful artist whose medium happens to be animated films. This version of "Nausicaa" (there is an earlier inferior version that you want to avoid) joins the ranks of "Howl's Moving Castle", "Castles in the Sky", "Spirited Away", and "Kiki's Delivery Service" as top-notch, share-with-the-whole-family experiences. If you are wondering (as I was) if this one could possibly compare with those others, the answer is "Yes!"

DVD Review: Awesome movie for the Kids & I
Summary: 5 Stars

I am totally amazed by this movie. The animation is exceptional for a movie made in the mid 80's. The story line is fantastic and the illustration of the toxic jungle is life-like. Miyazaki makes incredible movies that touch right to the heart and soul.

I have most of his movies and the kids and I enjoy watching them over, and over, and over again. It is entertaining throughout this entire movie. I still can't believe how well they illustrated the "warrior" near the end of the move.

Description of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Warrior/pacifist princess nausicaa desperately struggles to prevent two warring nations from destroying themselves and their dying planet. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 02/22/2005 Run time: 117 minutes
Hayao Miyazaki gained widespread attention in Japan for his complex ecological manga series, Nausica? 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?, 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?, 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? 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? 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
