Storyline
Did you know
- Alternate versionsThe English version, titled Once Upon a Time, has a new script written by Carl Macek and Tom Wyner, with scenes re-arranged/cut out, Americanized character names and added narration. This was because the original licensee, Harmony Gold, was not given any scripts or translations of the film to work from, and as such, they had little insight into the plot details.

Featured review
Like a lot of Eighties anime released in the US (Warriors of the Wind, Robotech, Space Warriors, Journey through Fairyland), this one was dubbed "down" to a child's level, with pandering voice acting and low intelligence expectations, in spite of the original's maturity. This isn't to say that Windaria is a particularly extraordinary feature even in the original version--it has pretty good animation, but it seems a little too derivative of Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind (and yet I can imagine Miyazaki laughing at the mystical parts of this movie). That said, the story in the English version, though missing sections important to the plot and character development, isn't so awful as to make it unwatchable. Hell, compared to Lin Minmei's voice on Robotech, this movie is rather pleasant!
