Product Description

Product Description

For the first time ever, the magic of Blu-ray(TM) high definition reveals the exquisite details in Hayao Miyazaki's epic masterpiece, NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND. Experience the film that launched the Academy Award(R)-winning career (2002: Best Animated Feature, SPIRITED AWAY) of one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animation! After a global war, the seaside kingdom known as the Valley Of The Wind remains one of the last strongholds on Earth untouched by a poisonous jungle and the powerful insects that guard it. Led by the courageous Princess Nausicaä, the people of the Valley engage in an epic struggle to restore the bond between humanity and Earth. Like Hayao Miyazaki's SPIRITED AWAY and PONYO, NAUSICAÄ OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND will dazzle your senses with its intricately imagined storytelling and stunning animation -- now more spectacular than ever on Blu-ray!

Set Contains:

The clarity of the Blu-ray format heightens the power and beauty of Hayao Miyazaki's striking ecological fable. A notable extra is "Behind the Studio," a short documentary that features composer Joe Hisaishi, studio executive Toshio Suzuki, and director Miyazaki (as well as this writer) discussing the making and significance of Nausicaä. "Enter the Lands" offers trailers of some of the Ghibli films and short descriptions of the main characters, but the map is rather tricky to navigate. Miyazaki's storyboards, timed to the soundtrack, were included in the previous release. Fans of Miyazaki's extraordinary films will want this Blu-ray for their libraries. (Rated PG: some scary imagery) --Charles Solomon

The movie is set up automatically in English but if you go to the Set Up screen in the menu and select the Language as Japanese, you will get the original Japanese version. The movie title sequence will also be different language wise according to which language you select. I speak Japanese & English and grew up watching Nausicaä in Japanese in my childhood and this movie holds up to those memories. The English subtitles for the Japanese version translate very well (I hear it’s not as great with the Disney version). There is also a packet inside about the movie that also has some movie stills. Hope the pictures I took help. I am super happy about this product. I can’t think of any negatives.—MOVIE REVIEW: This was my favorite Miyazaki film as a little girl! As an adult now Itruly appreciate having Nausicaä as a role model. Her courageous and adventurous qualities are to be envied, but I always aspired to be her level of caring and kind as well. It’s a beautiful story and one I cherish 20 years later.[updated Dec 2020 with audio languages]

5.0 out of 5 stars Studio Ghibli is always great!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024

It's hard to believe this was made in 1984, the anime style is so good and the music by Joe Hisaichi just as great as his later Studio Ghibli stuff. And it's interesting with Hayao Miyazaki just retiring and finally getting some credit for his amazing work with "The Boy and The Heron", to see this, which I think is Miyazaki's first film with Studio Ghibli. As always, great characters, beautiful animation, wonderful music, and a haunting story that has deeper meaning. I look back to my childhood and wish I was watching this stuff instead of insipid Disney films, but I didn't discover anime until I was a parent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Bluray
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2011
Verified Purchase
First of all the movie is great and the quality holds up well for it's age. The movie it self is a 5 out of 5 and the reviews here on the film express it well, this review is really more about the special features for the bluray.

These are the Bluray special features:

* Behind The Studio: Discover the film's fantastic origins in this fascinating documentary, including an interview with Hayao Miyazaki!

This is a cool featurette about 20 minutes long about the movie and a little with Miyazaki on his inspiration for the film. It goes into detail about how some of the themes in nausicaa later become signatures of his work.

* Enter the Lands: Explore the many worlds of Studio Ghibli through this interactive map!

This feature has a really cool map of all of Miyazaki's biggest films and you can click on them and it will give a brief description of the movie and all of the characters. Looks great in HD but all though it has animations on the map of all his movies you can only look at Nausicaa, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Tortoro, castle in the sky, and Ponyo (Porco Rosso, Howls moving castles, spirited awake and princess mononoke are on there but there aren't interactive parts)

* Studio Ghibli Trivia Challenge: You're your Knowledge

On the "Enter the Lands" map when you click nausicaa instead of seeing its story and characters description it pulls up this quiz.

* Original Japanese storyboards

great stills of a lot of the art work used to make the movie

These are all the features on the bluray side, the Behind the Microphone: With A-List Voice Talent, The Birth Story Of Studio Ghibli Featurette, and Original TV trailers are all on the dvd so you will have to switch to watch those features. Overall great and worth owning but if you all ready own the two disc dvd than i would just keep it and not bother upgrading to bluray. the movie looks clear on bluray but since it is over 25 years old even in high def it doesn't look any better than the bluray does quality wise. the new bluray features are cool but not worth rebuying if you all ready own it. if you don't have a copy of this movie all ready definitely but this bluray since the dvd version will run you roughly the same price.

This has always been my favorite anime' of all time. Right up there with the brilliance and impact as legends like Ghost in the Shell. The animation is jaw dropping, the tainted air particles look beautiful with the coloring, though is the cause of poison to those that breathe it. This story holds up to how the world is today... fewer of toxins in the air, in a futuristic, post apocalyptic world that Is choc full of exploration and battle! For anyone that is a fan of monster movies, this is great for you too. So many created colossal insect hybrids and monsters on both the bad side AND the good side :)
This movie is a gem. A legend for generations to come.
As i said earlier, this is my favorite anime ever. This was purchased as a gift for my teenage niece that is also an up and coming artist is her own right! She loves the anime genre so I knew this would impact her just as much as it did for me!
Arrived super fast and safe! Thank you Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kein Kinderfilm, düsteres und spannendes Fantasy-Märchen voll guter Moral und atemberaubenden Szenen
Reviewed in Germany on March 26, 2021

In “Nausicaä aus dem Tal der Winde” erzählt uns Miyazaki eine Fantasy-Geschichte aus der Zukunft: Nach einem Weltkrieg in unserer Zeit, für den gigantische, selbst denkende Roboter gebaut wurden, ist die Erde komplett zerstört worden, fast überall ist nur noch Wüste, zudem schwirren giftige Dämpfe durch die Luft, und es gibt nur noch wenige Menschen. Aber selbst diese haben nicht viel dazugelernt: Statt die riesigen Insekten und Tiere, die über die Jahrhunderte hinweg in den giftigen Gegenden entstanden sind in Ruhe zu lassen, wollen sie einen der gigantischen Roboter, den sie wiederentdeckt haben, zum laufen bringen um die Erde wieder zu “entgiften”. Das sie sich dabei übernommen haben, merken sie erst, als es schon fast zu spät ist…

Wir erleben dieses Märchen aus der Sicht der Nausicaä, eine Prinzessin, die aus einem “Tal des Windes” kommt. Dieses “Tal des Windes” ist dank seiner Lage (nahe am Meer) und dem ungiftigen Wind einer der wenigen fruchtbaren Gegenden. Nausicaä liebt die giftigen Gegenden und ihre Kreaturen, ausgestattet mit Gleitflieger und Gasmaske geht sie dort immer wieder auf Erkundungsreise, um unter anderem auch Proben zu nehmen, da ihr Vater Gift eingeatmet hat und sie ein Gegenmittel herzustellen versucht. Nausicaä würde also bis an ihr Ende mit all den anderen zusammen in diesem ruhigen Tal leben, wenn nicht eines Tages ein riesiges, unter Angriff von Insekten stehendes Flugzeug dort abstürzten würde. Dann wird sie plötzlich mit den anderen, schlechten Menschen konfrontiert, die alle Insekten töten wollen und die giftigen Zonen wieder belebbar machen wollen. Mit all ihrer Kraft und Liebe setzt sie nun alles daran, ein gutes Ende zu finden…

Nausicaä aus dem Tal der Winde ist äußerst ernst und intensiv. Es gibt viel Gewalt, nicht verherrlichend, sondern weil sie einfach zur Story passt und gehört. Und der ganze Film ist etwas dunkel und depressiv. Nicht unbedingt für kleinere Kinder geeignet, eher ab 12 Jahren. Aber auch mir (ich bin 20) hat der Film wahnsinnig viel Spaß gemacht. Wie alle Miyas. Die Atmosphäre die der Film aufbaut, ist einfach unbeschreiblich. Alle Miyas fangen etwas seltsam an, aber spätestens nach 30 Minuten ist man so von der Hülle gefangen, die der Film erzeugt, das man seine Umwelt gar nicht mehr wahrnimmt. Wie ein gutes Buch, das man um zum einschlafen lesen möchte, und plötzlich ist die Nacht rum, und man liest noch immer…

Im Vergleich mit dem Manga sieht der Film fast schon schlecht aus, aber ihn hier so zu bezeichnen wäre ungerecht und böse. Schließlich hat sich Miyazaki für den Manga 12 Jahre Zeit gelassen, während der Film vor bzw. während dem Manga entstand. Wenn man sich den Manga einfach wegdenkt, ist der Film ein wundervolles, wenn auch düsteres und spannendes Fantasy-Märchen voll guter Moral und atemberaubenden Szenen. Am besten mit diesem Film einen Abend anfangen, und dann etwas lockeres einschieben, wie Kiki oder Totoro.

5.0 out of 5 stars De visión ¨obligada¨ para fanáticos de Hayao Miyazaki.
Reviewed in Spain on January 29, 2021

Con el dinero que obtuvo de la película (que fue un éxito) fundó su Studio Ghibli.
Nausicaa del Valle del Viento es puro Hayao Miyazaki, es imaginación pura, es amor a la naturaleza, a la vida, a la verdad y a la libertad. Y es valor ante la vida.
La historia es tan poderosa que sus aproximadamente 1h 50min de duración, se quedan cortos. Hubiera merecido 5 horas y más presupuesto.
Épico.
