<P>原文:</P>
<P>Meantime, inside one of many Tokio's office, Miyazaki ran against TMS president Yutaka Fujioka, who wanted to involved him in the planning of LITTLE NEMO (a feature film co-produced with Canada). Miyazaki had never accepted any order and so, he left Telecom, one of the most important TMS subsidiary where he was employed as teacher after the CAGLIOSTRO's commercial flop. He was called by Tokuma Shoten to realize an animated version of its manga NAUSICAÄ. With much of disappoint of the Animage readers, it was interrupted to develop MEITNTEI HOLMES, a very expensive TV series co-produced between TMS and the Italian RAI (for further info go to TMS history page). HOLMES was freezed after just four episodes, because of economical problems. Meanwhile, Isao Takahata, in role of executive producer, was charged to find a production facility, since Tokuma was a print publisher with no animation studio. Altough TMS owned the necessary know-how, it was promptly set aside, because of recent disagreements. Toei Doga, Sunrise and most of Japanese studio were fully involved in the production of other TV series (between 1983 and 1984 were produced about seventy). Isao Takahata with no doubt chosen Topcraft, whose works were already known by him. Toru Hara's studio would be ideal in capturing all of the fantastic atmosfers in which Miyazaki had set Nausicaä's characters. In these days, Topcraft had just finished to make some scenes for a minor feature film under commission of an unknown Dutch company (for details go to database). So Hayao Miyazaki definitively left TMS to join the yet unknown Topcraft, where he realized his definitive masterpiece, to be soon acclaimed as a real cult-movie from pubblic and critic all over the world. The film's message was clearly against every war and pro-enviromentalist.</P>

<P>About NAUSICAÄ, Kazuo Komatsubara was chosen as animation supervisor and character designer (he was already main planner in Takahata's masterpiece GAUCHE THE CELLIST). Most of Topcraft's key employees such as Kazuyuki Kobayashi and Tadakatsu Yoshida animated all the epical sequences in which appeared the gigantic Ohmu.Furthermore, Isao Takahata called some of the most able veteran free-lance such Yoshinori Kanada, Yoichi Otabe, Noboru Takano and some members of OH! Production like Tadashi Fukuda and Kitaro Kosaka. This time Mitsuki Nakamura did art director. The color style had no difference with that of THE LAST UNICORN, since Fukuo Suzuki took care of both movies color designation.There also worked in it two young man named Hideaki Anno and Mahiro Maeda. Anno will be later one of the main GAINAX's founders, conceived in one of the most recent successful TV-series such FUSIGI NO UMI NO NADIA. Maeda did NADIA prop-design, but, at the same time, collaborate with Ghibli. At first, the well-liked writter Kazunori Ito had to partecipate, but at the last minute, his name was erased from the credits, because of unforeseen incomprehensions with Hayao Miyazaki.Thanks to the help of some external facilities, NAUSICAÄ was completed and distribuited in March 1984 (in fact, no Japanese studio could make an entire long-lenght movie by itself. In this case were involved Doga Kobo, Yamato Productions and Studio Pokke).Curiously, it counted just 56.000 cells against around 75.000 cells of THE LAST UNICORN, since it, produced for exigent American audience, required the highest technique. NAUSICAÄ instead got its success thanks to the innovative use of camera by Koji Shiragami.Despite of the scarce advertising, it was one of the most resounding hit of Japanese cinematography's history, receiving several awards. Although it was their first film to be produced for homeland's public in the last twelve years, the names of Topcraft's members became very famous. Main credit of this had to be tributed to a clever Animage's redactor named Toshio Suzuki, who worked in the production committee.Topcraft was also helpful in inbetweens, finishings and filming in MACROSS AI OBOTEIMASUKA, released fron Tatsunoko in the same year. Taking advantage of NAUSICAÄ's largest success, THE LAST UNICORN got a Japanese VHS version by CBS/FOX Home Video (it was available on Beta as well).</P>
<P>"While LITTLE NEMO took six years to finish, <BR>Miyazaki made KAZE NO TANI NO NAUSICAÄ in nine months!" </P>
