This is my all time favorite Studio Ghibli film. A little warning to parents, this movie is more graphic than other Ghibli titles as it is at a PG-13 rating. The story is about a boy named Askitaka who gets cursed by a demon boar. This…

My very first Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli film and personally deem it fit to be his magnum opus. A story which encapsulates the importance of triumph, wanderlust, the human struggle and reconnecting ourselves with nature. A great watch for…

The most successful Japanese animated feature (until Spirited Away surpassed it four years later) lavishly shows the genius of its mastermind, writer-director Miyazaki, at its most extravagant, characteristically resolving action sequences…
WOW! This was quite a film! Its harrowing, sad, heroic, mythic, and very complex.... the storytelling is rich and the animation excellent. The characters aren't just simple stereotypes, nor are their aims, nor are the relations between…

It's weird that the movie is named after Princess Mononoke, when she's actually not in it all that much and doesn't really do too much in the grand scheme of the film. You'd think with her being a human raised by wolves that SHE would be…

May be my favorite of all Miyazaki's productions. It seems to be on a different level of darkness and violent action than the others, and this is handled very well, with solid characterization and conflict deriving from the varied…

“Princess Mononoke” was released in 1997 and is one of my top favourites. It has an engrossing plot which is packed adventure and the animation style is pretty good. The stories of the main characters are really interesting and…

It took me until this year, viewing the film for probably the third time, to feel like I fully understood it. Having achieved this, it has become one of my absolute all-time favorite movies of any variety, and certainly the best animated…
A weird film carried by a reputation from a cult-like following. If you want something to make you cringe and ask questions which will never be answered, this is the movie to watch.

Princess Mononoke tells an incredible tale of Man vs. Nature. The story feels even more relevant now than when it was firsts released. We have our young heroes risking their lives for their ideals of protecting the environment and ending…

If you've never watched an animated film for adults before, now's the time to start. Princess Mononoke is a powerful, beautiful story about humans and the world we inhabit, set among the forests of ancient Japan. Not only is the film…
