Great work of imagination, but not his best IMO

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2003)

Having been a fan of Miyazaki-san for a long time, I am glad to see his films being brought over to the US, and to a lesser degree translated and re-voiced. I hope Disney Pixar continues to faithfully respect the director's vision. And as much as I liked "Spirited Away" and the acclaim that it has won, I humbly aver that his masterpiece of original imagination and fantasy is "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (the full version in the original Japanese). So, please don't miss seeing it if it ever comes to US!
