Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Classic Japanese anime feature directed by Hayao Miyazaki, set in a distant future after human civilisation has been wiped out in a global war known as the Seven Days of Fire. In the isolated Valley of the Wind, Princess Nausicaä (voice of Sumi Shimamoto) rules over a small group of survivors, the valley bordered on all sides by a toxic jungle guarded by monstrous insect creatures. This equilibrium is about to be disturbed though, as a new struggle for earthly domination threatens to unfold. (StudioCanal UK)
