Despite growing up in a post-apocalyptic world riddled with war and
pollution, Princess Nausicaä has acquired an otherworldly communion
with the natural world and a saint-like adoration from the local
populace. Drawing on inspiration from a world of myth and science
fiction, Miyazaki's fantastic tale sealed his fate as a master
animator of realms where beautiful, toxic spores fall like snow upon
the corpses of giant insects, where a medieval-esque society behaves
judiciously and harmoniously while honoring the wisdom of children,
elders, witches and wizards, and where Nausicaä flies freely through
the air on her glider, performing outrageous feats, and winning the
hearts and minds of all species as she attempts to save her valley
from destruction and discover the secrets of the forest. Unlike most
superheroes, Nausicaä acts out of compassion and a belief in an
inherent goodness and balance in the universe, that it is fear and
alienation, not evil, which drives war and ecological disharmony. Age
recommendation: 12+
