Nausicaä...

[mimi_sardinia]

I'm starting to wonder if the version of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind I saw back when I was a kid wasn't the one the wikipedia article mentions as having been edited by the American distributors to the point where a lot of the evironmentalist message in it was massacred.

There's parts - particularly the more evironmentalist parts - that don't look familar to me at all and I'm wondering if it's my bad memory or if I really never saw those parts before.


So as you can guess, it was in at the video store when I took back the load of Disney. I am glad however to have a chance to watch it again, it's a good story.

It was longer than two years ago when I saw it, it was probably something like 17 years ago. I do presume that the DVD I have now is the more complete version though.

I can't help but wonder at the english voice actors, Lord Yuufa sounds a hell of a lot like Patrick Stewart.

He is.

In the Warriors of the Wind version, Nausicaa is voiced by Rocky the Flying Squirrel from Rocky & Bullwinkle. Frankly, they had nowhere to go but up.

By the by, I've friended you. Hope you don't mind overly much.

Sure, I don't mind. Most of what I natter on about is fannish stuff - mostly Kingdom Hearts at the momment (I'm playing KH2 through - slowly - at the moment).
