Nausicaa in the Valley of the Winds is an animated feature length
movie that was Very Popular in Japan. A company in America got the
rights to it, and hired another company to "Americanize" it.

When they showed it to distributers (cobbled up and edited to death)
they were laughed out of the theatre. Being unable to understand how
something that popular in Japan could be such a flop in America, they
hired a different company to merely "translate" it instead of 
"Americanize" it.

This second version is being test-marketed in Florida, and people who
have seen it and the Japanese version say it is quite faithful to the
original, and Very Good.
