Movie Review: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

I've written about Miyazaki before, here Link.
I have not seen this classic animated film until last Sunday. I was drinking imitation Trudy's Mexican Martinis and laying on the couch. This film was awesome. Here is the wiki. Studio Ghibli is Miyazaki's animation company. I highly recommend this film. One of my favorite aspects of Miyazaki's stories is that the heroes are girls most of the time. The drawing and character design is both classic and original. The dialogue is complex without being too heavy. The story is engaging, and the voice acting is spot on. There are a ton of famous actors in Nausicaa such as Cameron Diaz and Shia Lebouf. My only regret is not seeing the film sooner. Watch this, you won't regret it!
