"There's nothing to fear."

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind - an early Studio Ghibli production - Japanese animated film at its finest and weirdest. The film is a warning, much like Princess Mononoke, of the perils of pollution and not caring about the environment.

Nausicaa is the princess of the Valley of the Wind. She has a gift for calming the large killer insects that inhabit the polluted forest near the valley. There are neighboring valleys whose leaders are violent. They attack the Valley of the Wind because it has prospered even so near a tainted forest. Nausicaa is their hope, their leader, and their wind glider.

This film features the voices of Patrick Stewart, Shia Leboef, and Uma Thurman. It is an entertaining film, a film to be heralded and digested. We as humans can not gone on as we have. Additionally, in this world humans are not alone. I would say this is a film that should be watched.
