The Castle of Cagliostro
Nausicaä is voiced in Japanese by Sumi Shimamoto, who won the role after impressing Hayao Miyazaki with her performance of Clarisse in "Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro". Patrick Drazen praised Shimamoto's acting in a scene where Nausicaä stops an insect from diving into an acidic pool by getting in its way. She is burned by the acid and she screams. Drazen described this scream as being one which "tears at the listener and raises the bar for cartoon voices". In Walt Disney Pictures' English dub of the movie, Nausicaä's voice was performed by Alison Lohman.
