This is an epitome of animation and storytelling at it's absolute best. I am so glad that Miyazaki was able to tell the story of young Nausicaa, both in story form (the comics-- available on-line) and the silver screen. The movie brings the four-dimensional characters to life (they also change in time) in one of the most thrilling movies of all time. I can recommend this majestic sci-fi tale for action lovers of any age, and most wonderful for young girls, as Sandra/Nausicaa is one of the few human women in animation/TV/movies that is strong, independent, and caring for the people she rules.
