Studio Ghibli is widely regarded as one of the best animation studios of all time, having released classics like Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke. As prominent as those works are, however, the studio wouldn't be where it is today without Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, studio head Hayao Miyazaki's sprawling manga that he quickly turned into an animated feature. The success of the film version of Nausicaä created the foundation for Ghibli, setting the stage for the rest of the studio's films.
