Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) / dir. Hayao Miyazaki / runtime: 1h 35m / Fantasy/Adventure
Far in the future, after an apocalyptic conflict has devastated much of the world's ecosystem, the few surviving humans live in scattered semi-hospitable environments within what has become a "toxic jungle." Young Nausicaä lives in the arid Valley of the Wind and can communicate with the massive insects that populate the dangerous jungle. Under the guidance of the pensive veteran warrior, Lord Yupa, Nausicaä works to bring peace back to the ravaged planet.
Parents need to know that Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is a post-apocalyptic, fantasy anime by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, based on a manga he also authored. Themes of protecting the environment, living peacefully, and respecting all creatures feature strongly, and the hero, Nausicaa (voiced by Sumi Shimamoto in the original version and Alison Lohman in the English dub), is extremely admirable. But she faces lots of danger/peril in the form of intense airship battles with explosions, her people being taken as hostages, and her father being shot and killed. An example of her compassion and courage, Nausicaa is also injured by gunfire while protecting animals from harm.
