When Nausicaä was first released as an English dub in the U.S. in 1985 it was drastically cut down to 1 hour and 35 minutes and titled Warriors of the Wind. Writer and Director Hayao Miyazaki was still so upset by the truncated “Warriors of the Wind” version of Nausicaä that when Harvey Weinstein approached him to discuss the distribution of Princess Mononoke (1997) and insisted on a similar heavily cut version of the movie, Miyazaki angrily left the meeting. Several days later, Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki sent a katana sword to Weinstein’s office with “NO CUTS” embedded into its blade. The movie was later released in the U.S. in its uncut version. During a later interview, Miyazaki commented on the incident by smiling and stating, “I defeated him.” Nausicaä was his only film to suffer heavy editing on first release. In 1995 the US rights returned to Miyazaki and he made a distribution deal with Disney. In 2003 a new English dub with Patrick Stewart, Shia LaBeouf and Uma Thurman was released in the uncut 117 minute (1hr 57min) version.
