Warriors of the Wind (1985)
Movie"The most fantastic family adventure in a world 1,000 years from now! Heroes, demons, conquerors, creatures... and a band of young warriors on the wings of their greatest challenge!"
Often credited as the reason for Studio Ghibli's strict "no cuts" policy for international releases of their works, Warriors of the Wind is a heavily-edited American version of Hayao Miyazaki's 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. In order to market the film as family-friendly, approximately 22 minutes of the original film are cut out in this version, resulting in a thoroughly altered story. Much of the original cast of characters are also renamed, including Nausicaä, who is in this version called Princess Zandra.
DirectorHayao Miyazaki
