I did see it. Great anime by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.
Now, first of all, what version did you watch it? There's the original version, and there's the american version called "Warriors of the Wind". The american version butchers about 20 minutes of the film, alters the plotline and changes the dialogue - it is so bad, compared to the original version, that Miyazaki said he wanted to burn every copy (like GL and the holyday special). Was there a scene in which Nausicaa dreams about her past while being engulfed by the Ohm's tentacles? If so, congratulations, you've watched the original version.
Yeah. I got the new Disney release. Still, I'd like to see Warriors to know what was cut and stuff.

I think you've missed the point. Earth was destroyed by men, but even so, Earth managed to cope with that destruction and create a perfect "balance" of it's natural resources, animals, and the polution. At what cost? Mankind was confined to small villages, always afraid of the polution madness it has created. I think it's a great environmentalist film, it's just that it's upbeat and positive about the future.
Earth is devestated, but in a past long forgotten; everybody just assumes that it was done by humans. I don't think it were possible for humans to pollute the whole earth, especially by accident. And being up-beat and positive is what I was talking about; that is the exact opposite of the accursed modern environmental movement, which wants you to believe the world is ending and it's all America's fault.

If you want to see a good environmentalist anime, watch "Future Boy Conan" (a 1978 anime masterpiece also by Hayao Miyazaki).
I might see it if it was animated by Miyazaki, but not because it is environmentalist.

By the way, the scene with the giant warrior - my favorite in that anime - was animated by Hideaki Anno, who, 11 years later, created and directed Neon Genesis Evangelion. So I guess I can see where part of his inspiration for Evangelion came from...
I've not seen much of Evangelion, but I thought that the movements and such of the big red Warrior seemed sort of familiar.
There was something else I really wanted to type, but I forget it now, darn it!!
