This is a story for both male and female children and young adults. It has important messages about family and tradition, and mans relationship to nature. The animation is firist rate and it is a big story that never gets boring.

What's great about it: Beautiful animation, Great story line, great characters, quite memorable, like all of Miyazaki's films.

Old school anime at its best

on June 8, 2011

Posted by: XAvenger

This is a classic that belongs in any anime fans video library.

Nausicaa is set many centuries in the future. A devastating war has left Earth a wastland and creatures called Ohmus have become the dominant species.

Nausicaa, the heroine, is a young princess who can communicate with animals and even calm the Ohmu, she also believes it is possible for Humanity and the Ohmu to share the world peacefully. The movie follows Nausicaa's adventure as her tiny kingdom gets caught up in a war between two empires and she tries to restore peace and bring about some kind of balance.

Nausicaa is a message movie, but it does not pound you over the head with its message as so many message movies do. Miyazaki takes a more subtle approach, which makes the movie much more enjoyable than if he'd used the 'sledgehammer' approach to getting his point across.

The animation still holds up. This is an excellent example of cel animation. All of the movements are fluid and natural looking and everything is well drawn. The mecha design is great, I love how those sky battleships look! The character designs are all engaging and distinctive looking. If you are familiar with Hayao Miyazaki's style, you know what to expect.

The Blu-Ray transfer is flawless. Everything is in clear focus and the details come out beautifully. Yet another great Blu-Ray experience from Disney.

One feature I liked in the extras was a short documentary on the history of Nausicaa. There's also an interactive portion with a simple hidden objects game based on the worlds of Ghibli films.

The English cast includes Patrick Stewart, one of the most brilliant actors of our generation. And, ironically enough, this illustrates a problem with dubbing. In this movie, Patrick Stewart is limited by having to follow another actor's performance, so it's hard for him to really put his own performance into his role. Sadly, a brilliant actor is not allowed to do his best work. If Patrick Stewart is constrained, imagine a performance from an actor who is not blessed with Patrick Stewart's talents (which, let's be honest here, most dubs do not have the best actors).

Watching Nausicaa in Japanese is much more satisfying. You get to see the movie as it was meant to be seen. Don't be afraid of the subtitles, reading subtitles and watching the movie is much easier than you think.

This is one of Ghibli's finest. If you are an anime fan, you owe it to yourself to see Nauisicaa.

What's great about it: Classic Studio Ghibli

What's not so great: English dub

I am a big fan of Studio Ghibli but for some reason I did not see this until about a year ago. Since then it has become my favorite. If you haven't seen it move it to the top of your list!
