Where the Wind Takes Us In an age of stunning CGI films, I was afraid that Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, with its hand drawn animation, might be showing its age. I am happy to report that I was wrong. With lush landscapes that will come to no surprise to devotees of Miyazaki's work, Nausicaa is filled with a vivid palette of colors, and vivid colorful characters. The English dub is fantastic, as well. Alison Lohman is perfect as the gently brave Princess Nausicaa. Patrick Stewart is a perfect fit for the wise and revered Lord Yupa. Edward James Olmos is utterly believable as the loyal and feisty Mito. And Uma Thurman is fabulous as the cold and cynical Kushana. And the story still stands the test of time, being itself an ageless tale. The extra features are also worth the time and energy, especially the interviews with the voice cast, and the brief history of Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. This is a movie for the whole family to enjoy.
