FILM 1169: NAUSICAÄ OF
THE VALLEY OF THE WIND
TRIVIA: Hayao Miyazaki was so
upset by the original international cut version that he sent a samurai sword to
the Executive at Disney with a simple note which read: "No cuts."
Nausicaä is the name of a character
in Homer's Odyssey.
The military planes invading the
Valley have yellow wingtip undersides. Hitler's Luftwaffe had similar yellow
identification markings during German invasions of surrounding countries.
Ohmu means "king of the
insects" in Japanese. It is short for "O-mushi" ("big/great
insect").
While many consider this to be a
Studio Ghibli film, it was actually created before the studio was properly
founded. The first movie produced by Studio Ghibli was "Castle in the
Sky."
