<P> Spain first released two versions of the cut film, both called Guerreros del Viento ("Warriors of the Wind") with the first in 1987 and again 1991, and then a version of the original uncut film under the Nausicaä del Valle del Viento title in 2010 .

The 2007 Hungarian release, titled Nauszika - A szél harcosai ("Nausicaä - The Warriors of the Wind") is uncut despite the title's reference . The Korean DVD release of the uncut film was on 3 March 2004 . China has had three releases of Nausicaä: the first on Video CD and two DVD releases . The italian version was titled Nausicaä nella Valle del Vento, on air on 1986 . </P> <P> Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind received largely positive reviews from film critics . The film is frequently ranked among the best animated films in Japan, and is seen by critics as a seminal influence on the development of anime, as the film's success led to the foundation of Studio Ghibli and several other anime studios . Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the film for its character designs, as well as Hayao Miyazaki's direction and Joe Hisaishi's score . He also said that the film "deserves a place on any short list of all - time classic anime movies ." Common Sense Media, which serves to inform parents about media for children, rated the film positively and cited its good role models and positive messages, but also cautioned parents about its dramatic setting and violent scenes . As of August 2015, review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 87% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 15 reviews with an average rating of 8 / 10 . </P> <P> Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has cited the manga and film as an influence on his series . As such, the horseclaws in the film were used as an inspiration for the Chocobos in the games . Numerous games have used Ohmu - like creatures, assumed to be reference to the film including Metal Slug 3 Cyber Core and Viewpoint . The game Crystalis, known in Japan as God Slayer: Haruka Tenkū no Sonata (ゴッド ・ スレイヤー はるか 天空 の ソナタ), shares common elements with the film, including an insect that resembles an Ohmu . Helen McCarthy in 500 Essential Anime Movies praised the animation techniques of Miyazaki, stating that "the real strength of this film is the script, packed with incident, excitement and passion, and the soundtrack" of Joe Hisaishi . </P> <P> Disney's English dub was well received by audiences and critics, especially in comparison to Warriors of the Wind, with the leading voice actors frequently being praised for their performances . However, in conducting a comparative analysis of the Japanese - language anime with their English translations, Eriko Ogihara - Schuck believes that although Disney's dub eschewed the dualistic, good versus evil worldview of Warriors of the Wind, it also "Christianiz (ed) Miyazaki's animism". According to her, the translators of the film were working a language suffused with Judeo - Christian idioms not found in Japanese, which they introduce to the text, such as the nature of humanity's relationship with the environment and animals as seen in Judeo - Christian narratives and cultural practices . Examples of these changes include when Nausicaä describes an insect as a "good boy", a term often used in describing domesticated animals (instead of a "good child", as in the Japanese version), and when Nausicaä converses with the wounded baby Ohm - in Japanese, she does not consider forgiveness from the baby a possibility, while the English version has her asking for it, albeit admitting the difficulty for the Ohm to do so . As a result of these changes, Nausicaä's death and subsequent resurrection by the Ohm herd present her as a Christ figure whose self - sacrifices are for mankind, rather than for nature . Ogihara - Schuck believes that Disney erased animistic motifs almost entirely from the film, even more so than Warriors of the Wind, in order to make it more accessible for American audiences due the film's non-specific setting, since animism was retained in their versions of My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Ponyo, as well as their own production Pocahontas . </P>
