Talk:Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind/@comment-25052124-20170626002545

Did you know that there was an earlier dub of this movie called "Warriors of the Wind"? It was produced by New World Pictures, and was released in June of 1985. It was distributed for video release by Vestron Video later that year, then re-released in 1993 by Independent Video. This version had over 20 minutes cut from the movie, and one other minute cut from the latter video release. The ADR didn't tell them about the actual plot of this movie, as it's narrative meaning was lost turning Ohmu into aggressive enemies. Characters names are also changed, like Nausicaä's name being changed into Princess Zandra.  It was done to market this as your then-normal Children's Action-Adventure movie. This move was hated by fans of the movie at the time, as well as Miyazaki himelf, therefore bringing out a "No-Edits" clause for foreign releases of his and Ghibli's films in general. It would've been the same for Princess Mononoke, too, but Toshio Suzuki gave Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein an acutal katana with the words "No cuts" on the message.
