Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2015)

In 7th grade, I had to watch "Fern Gully" to learn about people destroying the environment. Well, I want to march up to the teacher who made me watch it, slam a copy of "Princess Mononoke" on her desk and tell her, "Get rid of that other movie and start showing your classes this!" Seriously, this is a fantastic environmental movie! Why? Because instead of saying, "People are evil, nature is good!" it says that people and nature can live in harmony. They never say which side is good, it's up for the audience to decide, while never shoving the message down your throat like other environmental films at the time. Granted, I wouldn't show it to younger audiences, there are multiple bloody scenes of people getting body parts ripped off, and I found the Spirit of the Forest to be really creepy. But, if your kids can handle it, seriously show them this movie, you won't regret it.
