Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

I thought I had seen this animation before. It's considered the first Ghibli. Turns out I had never seen it -- but might have read some of the comic books. Anyway, it was really fantastic. I had a great time and can't recommend it enough.

Post-Apocalypse: Check.

Princess Heroine: Check.

Cute pet: Check.

Fanciful Flying Machines: Check.

Warring Tribes; Warring Species; Warring Ecologies: Check.

Sword Fights: Check.

Kinda Like? -- Dune.

Sand Worms? -- No, Doodle Bugs.

Really, really, really good.

Check it out.

 Ad Astra 47 BPM: For the future of Mankind! Nothing on the surface: Pirates! Moon buggies! WTF! Mayday from Norway: Planet of the Apes! WTF! Rage! They are using me: Goddam them! Nothing fits: In the current political climate! What's with: All the psych evals? Buck Rogers: No, Hamlet! I regret to inform you: That all crew members are deceased! HAL: Now being played by a down lineman from Harvard. Why go on: Why keep trying? We're: All we've got! I am focused on the essentials: To the exclusion of all else. I had a great time watching this. Visually stunning on the big screen. Pitt nails it. Rather than a dramatic whole, it's a string of episodes that make no sense whatsoever. Check it out!
