''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' was first introduced to American audiences in a heavily-edited film titled "Warriors of the Wind", and broadcast on cable's Home Box Office in 1987. Essentially re-made for children, it focused more on the action than on the environmental theme which was elemental to Miyazaki's story; even Nausicaä's name was changed to "Princess Zandra". Both the editing and release was done without the assistance or approval of Miyazaki, who later said that fans should "to dismiss it from their minds" when his film was restored and re-released in 2005.
The original story as written by Miyazaki took a total of twelve years to write, with lengthy interruptions due to other commitments. In all, 59 chapters, or five years of menga, were put on paper before work was stopped in 1983 to allow work on the film version, which was funded by Topcraft Studio. The success of the film (it ran for three months in Japan) led to the creation of Studio Ghibli, allowing Miyazaki total creative control over his later works.

===="Warriors of the Wind"====
''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' was first introduced to American audiences by New World Video in a heavily-edited film titled "Warriors of the Wind", and broadcast on cable's Home Box Office in 1987. Essentially re-made for children, it focused more on the action than on the environmental theme which was elemental to Miyazaki's story; even Nausicaä's name was changed to "Princess Zandra". Both the editing and release was done without the assistance or approval of an angered Miyazaki, who later said that fans should "to dismiss it from their minds" when his film was restored and re-released in 2005. When Disney offered to re-release the film on DVD in 2005, Miyazaki by then had taken a hard line on future contracts regarding his films; he reportedly sent a samuri sword as a gift to Disney staff preparring another film (''[[Princess Mononoke]]''), a short message was attached to the blade which said succinctly: "No cuts".
