I’m just glad it’s so easy to watch this beautiful movie

Hayao Miyazaki’s 1984 film, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind,” adapts Miyazaki’s 1982 manga of the same name. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, 1,000 years after the industrial age ended due to toxic spores spreading across the world, making much of the Earth uninhabitable to humans. New, mutant insects have spread across the world, often coming into conflict with the human settlers. Nausicaä, a princess in the Valley of the Wind, works to protect her people by diverting the insects away from the valley and preserving the toxic jungle so that spores don’t land in the valley. This tenuous balance is thrown into chaos when a neighboring kingdom’s airship crashes, incurring the wrath of the insects and spreading spores. The kingdom invades the valley, leading Nausicaä to discover more about the fragile ecosystem of the future.Miyazaki’s film includes much of the environmental messaging that appeared in later Studio Ghibli works while incorporating some of the visual styles of manga directly to the screen. Indeed, several scenes look like they are animated manga pages rather than the anime style used throughout the film.

A really amazing film, and the best picture quality and packaging. I love the steelbook for this one.The one I ordered didn't include the booklet about the film, but I was able to contact them and they sent it to me.IMPORTANT: It should be noted that this newer Shout Factory version, which is based on the 2014 Japanese release, has a darker, cooler image than the Disney version. I've seen comparisons and I'd say this newer one has better overall image quality, but if you want a warmer, brighter tone then you should opt for the Disney release. Both have their pluses but the new Gkids versions look a bit more refined from what I can tell, and are more consistent with the other films, such as Princess Mononoke.If you want to get into the Ghibli films, this is a great place to start.

I absolutely love the movies from this studio, this movie specifically was one of their earlier movies and was adapted to blue-ray wonderfully. Great addition to my collection.

It has that nostalgia feeling.It's like watching a 80's / 90's anime/cartoon as a child feeling.One of many favorites to re-watch and share with kids if you have any.Quality is great.I didn't know i was getting a blue-ray dvd & regular dvd.Which is great because not everyone has a blue-ray dvd player.

Item arrived very quickly. Small dent on front of case from shipping process but it's very minor. Would highly recommend this seller!
