Plot: In the far future, man has destroyed the Earth in the "Seven Days of Fire". Now, there are small pockets of humanity that survive. One pocket is the Valley of Wind where a princess named Nausicaä tries to understand, rather than destroy the Toxic Jungle. Note that the old US release titled Warriors of the Wind is an entirely kiddiefied version which edits the original movie heavily, thus creating an entirely different story. -Andre

Quotes:
Commando: That's Lord Yupa. Kill him and you'll be famous.
Yupa: In the midst of my travels, I heard of an ominous rumor... It said that a monster from the ancient world had been excavated from beneath the city of Pejite where it had been sleeping.::Mito: A monster from the ancient world?::Yupa: It's a God Warrior.::Mito: A God Warrior? You mean, the ones that burned the world in the Seven Days of Fire...? This thing...!::Yupa: All God Warriors should have become fossils. But this one managed to sleep underground for 1000 years.::Mito: Now that you mention it, it does seem to have a human form.
Nausicaä: [Trying to calm a wild Teto] There's nothing to fear... [tries to pet him, but he bites her and holds on, growling] [winces, but says calmly] There's nothing to fear... [He calms and releases his bite and begins to lick it]
Nausicaä: It's so beautiful. It's hard to believe these spores could kill me.
Kushana: Nice valley. Think I'll keep it.
Yupa: [about Kushana's arm] An insect did that?::Kushana: Yes, and whatever lucky man becomes my husband shall see far worse than that.
Kurotowa: She's alive. There goes that dream.
Asbel: Why does everything that's good for you have to taste so bad?
Kurotowa: [the god warrior's mid section partially disintegrates] It's rotting... it's too soon...
Yupa: I suggest you surrender. There is no ship coming to rescue you.::Commando: This guy is tough...
