torg:

*scoots off, hunting....*

You know they only made the books/comics or whatever they are so they would be allowed to make a movie.  They wanted to just make a movie but they were not allowed to because it was thought without the support of a comic, no one would want to see the movie, so they gave them a comic and so were allowed to make the movie.

LeeZion:
I don't know, I got spoiled by watching Miyazaki's later films before I got a chance to see Nausicäa, so it doesn't stand up all that well. The animation looks a lot more flat, and the colors more muted.

The story is good. But when seen side-by-side with Princess Mononoke, which came about 15 years later, it seems that Mononoke is the film that Nausicaäa wanted to be.

Gryff:
Hmmm, haven't seen Nausicaa, but I dig on Miyazaki fo' real.

Can't stand the English dubbing though... even if they do have big names in them. Gillian Anderson as the wolf spirit thing in Princess Mononoke was just painfully wrong.

Garcin:
Definitely, Nausicaa is one of my favorites.  Exemplifies Miyazaki's innocence & environmentalism themes to an extent even greater than My Neighbour Totoro or Princess Mononoke.  Contains genuine moral ambiguity and honest to goodness adult happenings (there is a whole whack of people who die in that movie -- unlike Princess Mononoke where it's mostly the animals who get it).  The spore forest scenes & Ohmus were beautiful, and the Pieta at the end was extraordinary (and shamlessly plagiarized by the Wachowskis at the end of the Third Matrix movie).

I had the opposite reaction: watching Nausicaa recently only brought to mind how shallow Miyazaki's last offering (Howl's Moving Castle) was in comparison.  Beautiful, but absolutely superficial and pandering.  I was so disappointed.  A war that ends at a whim, and not one but two Prince Charmings that are saved by a kiss?  Give me my Ohmus please.
