Stunningly beautiful and though-provoking story!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2000)

Mononoke Hime (aka Princess Mononoke) is in my personal top ten movies of all time. The screenplay by Gaiman is fantastic, the dubbing job is just incredible, and the story is most definitely not your standard "good vs. evil" fare.
In addition to all that, the movie is absolutely beautiful. I fell in love with the animation in the first couple of minutes when I saw Ashitaka (the male lead) climb a wooden watchtower - a beautiful piece of human motion. And the backgrounds! Most other movies, live action included, pale in comparison.
This movie may be a bit heavy for really young children, but is so thought-provoking that I would recommend it for anyone over about 5 years old. A feast for the eyes and ears that should not be missed!
