13 Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind Vs. Warriors Of The Wind
In 1984, Hayao Miyazaki directed NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, a SF
film based on the manga by the same name (distributed in the US by Viz
Comics). This movie has been very popular in Japan and with r.a.a. readers.
In 1988 New World Films released an English-dubbed version of the film, and
changed the name to WARRIORS OF THE WIND. To make WoW a more action-oriented
and marketable film, about 20 minutes of footage were cut from the original
version, and major changes were made in the dialogue. The drastic
difference in quality between the two films is used by anime fans as an
example of the typical kind of gross editing done to anime features
translated to English. Note that this is not a practice incurred upon
by the companies mentioned under SUBTITLED and TRANSLATED anime in the
Anime Resources List (with the exception of FHE).
