Very happy to see it......but confused.

Not being an expert critique of this producers works like so many others, I originally purchased the VHS copy of this movie ("Warriors Of The Wind") for my son when he was small and we watched it many times together and enjoyed it. A short time ago I introduced this same video tape to his son, my grandson and was able to also enjoy it again thru his eyes. I was unaware that it was being re-released on DVD under the name "Nausicaa Of The Vally Of The Wind" until I saw it for sale and then I was confused as to whether or not it was the original we had loved or a sequel to that story due to the re-naming. For those apparent few, like ourselves, whom knew no better and still loved the story in it's original release form; this remake will be a miracle and a minefield. It is extremely well done and I definitely recommend it's purchase - but the dialogue is drastically different from the original. Not bad, definitely not worse; but VERY different from what we veterans of only the VHS release expect based on that original release. The hardest thing for my grandson to accept is that it is the same film, and yet so very many things are now called something different and (especially) that the name of the princess/heroine is different - he is not happy with my explanations that Princess Zandra is now Princess Nausicaa. In looking over the existing reviews for this release, I don't see that this small fact has been mentioned before. So for anybody else out there that is wondering like I did; the video and audio are done extremely well - but the movie will be jarringly different simply because of all the additional video "bits & pieces" that have been restored and because the dialogue is so completely re-written. You will love it - but it will take a bit of getting used to if you, like us, are expecting what you watched before to be unchanged.
