positive · AI labelView post →I've often wondered when was the first time a Ghibli film was screened in the UK and I think I have an answer. 15th November 1987, Laputa at the London Film Festival. ("...a worthy successor to Warriors of the Wind"!)
neutral · AI labelView post →weebs: the Nausicaä movie is bad because it only adapts 2 volumes of material from a 7 volume manga that the author was making up as he was going along over 12 years also weebs: Warriors of the Wind is bad because it cuts stuff out of the Nausicaä movie, which is a perfect film with zero flaws
neutral · AI labelView post →Little personal story: As a kid, I repeatedly rented an animated movie called Warriors of the Wind from my local videostore. It was fairly short and the story was confusing as if there was something missing, but I loved it regardless. One day, the videostore didn't have it anymore since they got rid of older VHS in favour of newer ones. I was heartbroken and didn't managed to track it down (this was way before the internet). Fast forward about 15 years, when I had already watched Princess…
positive · AI labelView post →This scene was edited out of the F.H.E. Warriors of the Wind version of the movie. Which is one of the reasons why Miyazaki sent a samurai sword to Michael Eisner at Disney when they bought the rights to translate Princess Mononoke.
neutral · AI labelView post →Warriors Of The Wind horrified Miyazaki, so he ensured Disney wouldn’t cut Princess Mononoke by sending them a katana with the message “No Cuts!” And that movie was so strangely handled that the poster is an absolute trip.
neutral · AI labelView post →When Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, now considered a timeless anime classic, first came over here it got cur and butchered and reedited into a new movie called Warriors of the Wind that was so bad Miyazaki/Ghibli adopted a policy of not allowing any cuts or reedits of their movies ever again
neutral · AI labelView post →Machine translated from german wikipedia (english one is less comprehensive on that but has other details): > New World Pictures acquired the US rights to Nausicaä in 1985. For a children's film release under the title Warriors of the Wind, they shortened the anime by more than 23 minutes, or about a fifth of its total length. The ecological and pacifist message was removed and replaced with a battle of good against evil.\[11] The names were also changed, with "Princess Sandra" now fighting…
neutral · AI labelView post →A little feral, deeply feeling, passionate, but dismissed by those around her. Powerfully kind, yet capable of drawing blood, & always fighting for the right reasons - Princess Nausicaa has been my hero since I first saw her (& this movie) as a wee girl in it's butchered form, 'Warriors of the Wind'
positive · AI labelView post →Some of my favorites. Sketches from Nobuteru Yuuki and Hiroshi Nagahama, Sailor Moon cel signed by Kotono Mitsuishi, and as far as unusual, a theatrical sized movie poster for Warriors of the Wind.
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite animated movie is Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Yeah, my first exposure to it was in the 80s with the infamous Warriors of the Wind version... but even THAT version resonated with me as a kid in a way that probably influenced my creativity more than I ever realized.
positive · AI labelView post →I have a complex relationship w/ the Nausicaä movie. I saw it first as Warriors of the Wind, and even in that state, loved it. Then, I read and fell in love with the manga. Returning to the movie, it felt disappointing. A mere piece of a far bigger whole. Now, I can appreciate it for what it is.
neutral · AI labelView post →I hear the film was released in the US as "Warriors of the Wind"? It didn't really make much of a splash. Anyway, here's the NAUSICAÄ ADVENTURE GAME title screen!
neutral · AI labelView post →the 1967 Hobbit short film is like what people wanna believe Warriors of the Wind is
neutral · AI labelView post →a few things i am ABSOLUTELY gonna try to look for aside from the manga the film was based on: - Warriors of the Wind: very early English dub from the 80s that's very bad - Disney Demo VHS: uses the Disney dub, was never properly released on a US VHS to my knowledge aside from this.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Try to find the original if you can, rather than the badly cut Warriors of the Wind.
positive · AI labelView post →I credit the film programmer in the early 80s for getting this avail on the big screen and upon walking out asking to buy the HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME poster to which was said come back with a parent... best .50 cents ever. The film ticket may have been $2 at the most...and called WARRIORS OF THE WIND!
positive · AI labelView post →Seriously. My fave will always be Nausicaa, but I've loved that movie since I was a teenager (in its heavy-HBO-rotation life as "Warriors of the Wind") so I'm hardly an objective judge.
positive · AI labelView post →Same! Reminded that the first time I saw Nausicaa was on a super old bootleg betamax of Warriors of the Wind & we legit could not tell if the animators had actually drawn her without pants. (I was reading the manga so I knew she had pants. My friend was like "that looks like an old movie I have!)
neutral · AI labelView post →My first Ghibli film was Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, but i saw the Warriors Of The Wind edited vhs version.
neutral · AI labelView post →please let me know if you find the lost World Film/Television Corporation translation and/or dub of Nausicaä made before Warriors of the Wind lol archive.org/details/Anim...
neutral · AI labelView post →I unironically wish Miyazaki would make the movie that exists on the Warriors of the Wind cover art because I would watch that kind of trippy sci-fi space opera with flying Pegasi and laser swords
positive · AI labelView post →Warriors of the Wind also has the most amazing example of “movie poster that is completely unrelated to the movie” ever.
neutral · AI labelView post →My wife initially thought I made up Warriors of the Wind. I shan't show it to her, as it's her favorite film and I don't want to make her sad.
neutral · AI labelView post →Haven forbid a Miyazaki movie might be a bit bloated. I'm curious though, where's the current Warriors of the Wind discourse happening?
neutral · AI labelView post →Nausicaa was once picked up for distribution by New World Pictures. Renamed “Warriors of the Wind.” That version cut the film down by 22 mimutes. Miyazaki insisted no film of his should be cut. A similar situation almost happened with Mononoke, but a katana was sent with the words “no cuts.”
neutral · AI labelView post →A lovely film; Sadly, a horribly edited dub called “Warriors of the Wind” was shown at the first Los Angeles International Animation Celebration alienated anyone who saw the original sub earlier. [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-08-23-ca-24672-story.html]
neutral · AI labelView post →Same. The first version I saw was Warriors of the Wind on Canadian TV in the 80s that had a 'Late Movie' program on the weekends that showed all kinds of movies. It was edited a bit, but I loved it. I later had the poster for the WotW vhs release, and wow is it not the film. 😅
positive · AI labelView post →80s anime like "Clash of the Bionoids" (Macross movie) & "Warriors of the Wind" (Nausicaa) were cut up messes. TV tried to reproduce new Robotechs but flopped. Only Akira had a deserved general following. Meanwhile, my friends were on Amigas subtitling shows & fansubs caught on across fan clubs.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'll join in on the obscure movies that defined my childhood and teen years... Texas Across the River, Warriors of the Wind (horrible cut and dub of Nauiscaa of the Valley of the Wind), Sea Prince and Fire Child (we rented the tape so much that eventually they sold it to us because we were also the last ones to rent it), Anime version of The Little Mermaid, animated Hobbit and Return of the King, Fairies, Mio and the Land of Far Away ... That's all of the obscure ones I can think of at the…
neutral · AI labelView post →Case #7: Warriors of the Wind (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind) Half of the characters on the cover do not appear in the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →it was the first ghibli movie I’d seen and was originally named, Warriors of the Wind
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh man that Warriors of the Wind poster. I remember renting it and thinking, the poster lied to me about everything. Still enjoyed the movie though.
positive · AI labelView post →It did well overseas too, as the first Ghibli film dubbed by Disney (through Miramax) under their deal with Ghibli's parent company. Remembering the debacle of the "Warriors of the Wind" Nausicaä dub, this was when Suzuki allegedly sent a sword to Harvey Weinstein with the note "no cuts". [11/12]
neutral · AI labelView post →In the US in the 80s it was "Warriors of The Wind" and that movie meant the world to me as a kid. Still means a lot to me as an adult, I bought the manga twice, the OGs and the collected omnibus. I've owned the OG VHS and DVD. Aka Nausicaa www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFgZ...
positive · AI labelView post →Me explaining the 80's Miyazaki "Nausicaa" drama to a younger generation of fans over hurricanes: "When I was your age, the only Studio Ghibli movie we could get our hands on was a bastardized version of "Warriors of the Wind" rented from a local gas station AND WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR EVEN THAT MUCH!"
neutral · AI labelView post →I think my first anime experience was Warriors of the Wind, the Disney butchering of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind share.google/MDaQ7YVXyBPY... It left a sufficiently deep impression that, long after I saw that VHS from the corner shop, I knew it when I walked past my roommate watching it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am of the "watched Robotech on broadcast television in middle school" cohort. If you don't like that, then how about the dubbed Nausicaa movie ("Warriors of the Wind") showing on HBO a couple years later?
neutral · AI labelView post →I credit the film programmer in the early 80s for getting this avail on the big screen and upon walking out asking to buy the HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME poster to which was said come back with a parent... best .50 cents ever.

neutral · AI labelView post →They even renamed it "Warriors of the Wind" and made box/poster art that had nothing to do with the movie. It was my first exposure to Miyazaki when I was a kid and even that chopped up and badly dubbed version was still better than most stuff released here in the states at the time.

Dub Anime movie Night!! movienight.live/r/Movienight At 6:30 PST we will be watching Lum the Invader Girl 7:30 PST, Japanese King of the Hill. 8:45 PST, Warriors of the Wind (The original english Nausicaa dub) We are pregaming with some Ace Attourney dub outtakes!
neutral · AI labelView post →Fun Fact: The First Anime Movie I Watched Was In The 80s..It Was Called "Warriors Of The Wind" On HBO.Was Able To Watch It Twice One Year & Then It Disappeared. I Didn't Know Until College In The 90s That It Was NAUSICAA! Please Google The First Title.🙏🏿💖☮️ youtu.be/lXIWrglxTA8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, now I wish that "Godzilla Warriors of the Wind" was a real movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →(technically "Warriors of the Wind" was even earlier but that doesn't count; that movie was pretty much the whole reason Miyazaki reputedly sent Harvey Weinstein a goddamn katana and the warning "NO CUTS!" when Mononoke came West)
neutral · AI labelView post →The guys in my berthing compartment would sometimes throw a tape in the VCR (ask your parents to explain) in the evening. One time someone put in an animated film and I was transported. The movie was “Warriors of the Wind”, more properly known as “Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind”.
neutral · AI labelView post →👊🏼 that movie hit me like a freight train! On video in 1984. Knew nothing about it but the box art and the title (Warriors of the Wind) sounded cool. Completely transformed my 10 year old brain.
positive · AI labelView post →Misread it as Warriors of the Wind and OMG THIS SITE IS INFURIATING I JUST WANNA WATCH THE MOVIE ALREADY I'll be fine. Really. Truly. I mean it. I'm. Fine. *eye twitch*
neutral · AI labelView post →My introduction to Miyazaki was a film reel of Warriors of the Wind checked out from the library. Probably 8mm? I think that was the first movie that made me cry. I'll hold Nausicaa over all of them, but none of them over themselves. Each has something to celebrate.
positive · AI labelView post →Just did another watch of Warriors of the Wind for this essay rewrite and whoof... there's more to say this time about that cut of the film...
neutral · AI labelView post →Non stop violence in a post apocalyptic earth, this is so much more anime than Ghibli. It isn't actually a true Ghibli film but is often marketed as such. It's style is very different to that usually associated with Ghibli. If you're expecting 'My Neighbour Totoro', you'll be disappointed. I like Ghibli films but this falls into an anime spiral of - attack the armies that control the power and release the monster driving army2 into the acid sea who must retaliate by killing more people and…
