Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is one of my favourite Ghibli films. apart from princess Mononoke, it is a film that explicitly expresses the concern of human/nature relationships. in this world there is the Sea of Decay which is poisonous to humans without a mask on, and throughout the film we see interactions of most people being aggressive towards the creatures that reside there (mostly insect like creatures and huge ones called Ohm), and it is in the protagonist that we see a real sense of warmth and genuine belief that we can bridge the gap between the two. the film from the beginning foreshadows this legend of a figure walking on golden light(?) I'm reciting this from memory poorly but we see the protagonist wonder about this - and it gets revealed in the end what that is. it's a very heart-warming film and really makes you see that from the goodness of the heart humanity might not be all bad after all. anyway, I started to collect film stills from it, I've been intending to for a while now, and I've just started maybe 30 mins in and I've already accumulated 500 ish... I won't upload them all here (basically frame by frame) but I really enjoyed the frames that you wouldn't have seen if you haven't watched, rewatched, paused, captured that moment, especially in explosion or really rapidly animated fires/action etc. I'll just drop a few here that I like:
