    DON'T WATCH THIS

    MAJOR WARNING FOR MIYAZAKI FANS - this is a horribly cut, re-dubbed version of Nausicaa : Valley Of The Wind. It was brutalised to turn it into a kiddies film for the US and has been disowned by the director himself, so save yourself the pain and wait for the release of Nausicaa proper in early 2005.

    The most accessible Studio Ghibli film

    I don't think this is necessarily the best Miyazaki film...Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totorro and Laputa are all arguably superior but I think this is his most accessible. The story is more coherent and evenly paced than even his best films and hence it's all the easier on the Westerner's palate.

    Themes from Princess Mononoke are explored in a less complete but slightly more heavy handed way in this film but this is a minor criticism.

    If you are looking for an excellent entry point to the beautifully animated, wonderfully imaginative films of Miyazaki then this is it.

    If you have seen any of his others and you remain to be convinced; try this. If you have already enjoyed a Miyazaki film then this is a good watch.
