Why oh why did I only hear of this movie now :(

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2001)

As noted in 90% of the previous posts this movie is awesome!!!!! the animation the story wow!!!
Also as noted I never even heard about this movie when it was on the big screen....thanks a bunch disney/miramax great marketing job!!! /sarcasm (probably afraid that the drivel they shovel out would be seen for what it was when compared next to Mononoke Hime)
I am so mad that I missed seeing this on the big screen!
Well at least I bought the DVD and there are definitely some differences between the dub and the original Japanese ver on the DVD...one that caught my attention was when Moro is talking to Ashitaka outside the cave and she talks about hearing the trees cry out in pain, in the english version they leave out the bit about the tree's crying out in pain because of the boars marching through them and knocking them down...otherwise you are left with the impression that this was due to the humans too.
I don't think I can take watching the movie's english dub anymore after watching the Japanese version, its just not the real thing.
This movie had such an impression on me that I am now studying Japanese so that I can truly appreciate the movie...it doesn't matter how many years it takes but I will learn it to watch Mononoke Hime properly :)
regards all.
