Nausicaä was released in a time when people were awakening to the great damage that human activity can cause to the environment. Its post-apocalyptic world painted a stark image of life on our planet where the balance of life was horribly altered.
This movie firmly established Hayao Miyazaki as a master in his field. Studio Ghibli was formed after the release of this movie to work on Laputa: The Castle in the Sky.
