Old anime from early-mid 80's, need help...

[CuriousToFind]

Hello and thanks in advance. I have been trying and trying to find this film but I haven't found an accurate way to search/hit the keywords on a search engine. Here is what I remember:


-Starts off with "bad guys" landing a ship on a planet and they are digging/extracting the "infant"/larvae form of a "fire creature"

-"Main Character" is a young girl who ends up fighting with said "bad guys" in beginning

-(jump to end) Fire creature is "summoned"/awakened from larvae form (too soon) and uses its "fire power" to try and hold off a herd of (what appears to be) giant rollie-pollies(common shelled insect)

-Fire creature falls apart, girl(main character) tries to stop rollie-pollies from going into an acid lake, dies, gets revived by healing golden tentacles of rollie pollies


If you have any idea on what the title is I would very much appreciate it. I don't know if it was japanese, but I do remember it was one of the first "cartoon movies" i'd seen as a kid and have been curious about it for a while now. Thanks so much

That movie is from 1985 and is called
Kaze no tani no Naushika
or
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds
or
Warriors of the Wind
