Thank You Disney First off, credit must be given to Walt Disney Studios for allowing us to finally get a chance to see this amazing work of animated art. Also, I give a nod to Pixar here because many executives at Pixar encouraged Disney to pick up the rights to Miyazaki's films. Thanks go to both of these great family oriented entertainment giants. "Nausicaa" is the first real effort of the animator called Hayao Miyazaki. It is an amazing and detailed work of animated art that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This film established all of the familiar themes of Miyazaki, which are : 1. Anti-War : Miyazaki dislikes violence and shows war as a destroyer of not only people, but also a destroyer of society and the planet itself. 2. Everyday Life : There is a constant theme of simply enjoying everyday life, the normal work, toil and rest of an ordinary day. 3. Showing the feminine (chan) as an integral part of creation : the Miyazaki film always shows feminine figures as something other than shallow fashionistas and/or weak victims. Usually, the main protagonist is a heroine who saves her society (and/or her friends) in some way. However, there is usually a "evil" woman somewhere in the film who is a foil to the heroine (in Nausicaa it is the brutal woman who seeks to destroy nature to ensure Human survival). Please give this film a rental and see what you think. If you enjoy this, please consider Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
