Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Kaze no Tani no Naushika
"Carry us... I will return that child to the herd!"
Summary
The apocalypse has radically altered the ecosystem so that
giant mutant insects rule both land and air while man scrambles
to preserve what arable land
remains. The Valley of the Wind is one of these few lands but
it is caught in the middle of a territorial battle between two
neighboring powers. It is up to princess Nausicaa to protect her
kingdom and the new environment from the ravages of man. This
first production by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli took
the anime world by storm.
