Patrick Stewart has one of the most decorated careers in genre entertainment — Star Trek, X-Men, the Royal Shakespeare Company — but Screen Rant argues his most underrated role sits somewhere unexpected: the English dub of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, where he voiced the swordsman Lord Yupa.

Twenty-one years after that dub's release, the outlet calls the performance another standout from Stewart's career, tucked inside a film it describes as a cult fantasy classic that remains underappreciated relative to the rest of the Studio Ghibli catalog.

It's a fair argument. Dub performances rarely get counted when actors' filmographies are discussed, and Nausicaä — Hayao Miyazaki's post-apocalyptic ecological epic — predates Ghibli's formal founding, which has always left it slightly outside the studio's canon in casual conversation despite its enormous influence.

For viewers who know Stewart primarily as Picard or Professor X, the dub is an easy recommendation: a legendary voice in service of one of animation's foundational works, hiding in plain sight for over two decades.
