For those unfamiliar with "Warriors of the Wind"; (from wiki)

[font="\"open sans\", sans-serif"]A heavily edited and English dubbed version of the film was released theatrically in North America, shown on HBO and released on VHS by New World Pictures in the 1980s as Warriors of the Wind. According to Nausicaa.net, the voice actors and actresses were not even informed of the film's plotline and more than 30 minutes were cut from the film because New World felt that "the parts were slow moving". As a result, part of the film's narrative meaning was lost; some of the environmentalist themes were diluted as was the main subplot about the Ohmu, altered to turn them into aggressive enemies. Most of the characters were renamed (for example, Nausicaä became "Princess Zandra"). The cover for the VHS release featured a cadre of male characters, who are not even in the film, riding the resurrected God Warrior — including a still-living Warrior shown briefly in a flashback. It was released around the world under various different titles, such as Sternenkrieger (literally "Star Warriors") in Germany. It was rumored that June Foray provided the voice of Zandra, though this has been proven as untrue.[/font]

Here's a rare trailer for it;

and a Swedish one as well;

US butchering of foreign films, as usual.

Disney did a re-dub of this movie, so let’s forget about that one.

Ah, that's why the dub never felt very different from the sub I was used to. I was really confused for a minute when I read this post.
