Big ambitions inspire great designs; little things bring them to life. Nausicaa has both in abundance.

The action sequences are as suspenseful as any in the director's career; the most impressive scenes, though, may be the slower ones, which consider how humanity might evolve after driving itself to near extinction.

Hayao Miyazaki’s animated adventure, from 1984, is a magnificent anomaly—a rousing vision of scorched earth.

Dreamlike Ghibli animation that's well worth seeking out.
