One of my all-time favorite Miyazaki films! If you enjoyed this anime but felt as though something was incomplete or lacking, I would highly recommend reading the manga by (also by Miyazaki)! The story and characters are wonderfully…

This film takes place in a different world where most of the planet has turned into a “toxic jungle”. Most of civilization lives in a place called, Valley of the Wind where the environment is suited for human life. Here a princess named…

This is one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. The main character is dynamic, talented, and a selfless role-model. I liked it so much I watched it twice by myself and made a friend watch it. I like that there are enough…

If you can find the books, they are fascinating!!! (it's a graphic novel series by Hayao Miyazaki that shows a wider and more detailed world/story than the movie version)

Miyasaki wrote such a realistically strong and intelligent female character. The plot (focusing on how to balance relying and living with nature to ensure it continues for future generations) and animation are smooth and I will never tire…
Three kingdoms, a bunch of giant killer bugs, a deathly jungle - these are the setting for a tale of environmental degradation and the redeeming power of love. The mythic structure is fascinating to watch even though the facts are asserted…

Not for me. I would think this animation was meant for 5 years and younger but the subject matter is that of war. So it is almost a conflict in itself between the targeted audience and the subject matter.

This film is one of Studio Ghibli's earlier works, and remains one of my all-time favourite from this studio. Animation is top-notch, and the depiction of flight scenes very well done. I will watch it again down the road for sure.

Similar to Princess Mononoke, this film shows the conflict between the nature and humans. The nature displays its warnings to people for disrupting the circle of life, that human survival is linked to their relationship with the nature.

Even thought I didn't like it very much (I just couldn't relate to the characters well), this is still a very good and thrilling piece of cinema. With strong, emboldened characters fighting for survival it goes over the multifacted views…

Wonderful movie to watch for Earth Day. Earth (or someplace like it) has been polluted to the point that humanity lives in pockets and growing food and getting clean water is a struggle. Nausicaa, princess of the people in the Valley of…

As someone who used to watch alot of anime, the only ones for which I have the time nowadays are the epic ones from the
famed Studio Ghibli. It's a good sign if when the movie is over, that I wished that the whole thing was longer so that…

I think I read that this is actually Ghibli's first film. Not bad considering it was made in the eighties. Objectionable content: Some of the bug-monsters bleed, but it's blue.

This is a beautifully animated film with a powerful message about tolerance and properly caring for the Earth. However, it does contain many violent scenes. I would recommend it for children ten or older as I don't think it would hold the…
