One of the very best films, animated or not, ever!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2002)

A brilliant, breathtaking and wonderfully complex story, full of dazzling adventure, beautiful imagery and strong, rememberable characters. Princess Mononoke doesn't spoon-feed you with simple, black and white stereotypes and mushy romance you see too much of in mainstream movies. It's perfect as an animated film (I hesitate to call it anime because it's far from most people's conception of anime), but even those who are not fans of animation will surely enjoy it.
