I remember bits of this movie and I liked it.

The mushroom shaped towers were very big, and the cybernetic being had
tentacles or cords infused into its body. Just like in the pictures below...

I thought the name was willow or wind. Any help?

Oh and this was around 20 years ago.

Can't remember name of anime movie


This is a bit of a long shot, but perhaps is it Nausicaa: Valley of the
**Wind**. This was a really big title, released in 1984. There was also a US
release called "Warriors of the Wind".

While I don't remember any large mushroom houses, there's a lot of large
natural features in the landscape of the world, and the main protagonist does
a lot of travelling, so at one stage she may have flown through a similar
area.

The tentacle person isn't in this, but some of the creatures do have tentacley
things that reach out:

This is a really long shot based on the similarity to the Ghibli aesthetic
mentioned above:

Could it be Tree of Palme?

It's from 2002, so it's a little earlier than you specified, and I would be
amazed if this was ever shown on broadcast TV. It did get a dub and a DVD
release though, so who knows?

Mushroom structures - check (sorry for the angle - I couldn't find much on

So, do any of these characters ring any bells?
