There is an ongoing war between the humans and the forest creatures and gods

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2012)

Lovely visual style for the telling of a story where humans are fighting the animal spirits and gods for land occupied by the forest and it's guardian spirit.
The humans are after the rich resources from the land, while the animal spirits just want to keep their forest and survive. A young man comes into the village and attempts to solve the problems and calm the warring spirits.
Being a foreign film (Japanese), it was really good to find that the quality of the English dub was actually better than the subtitled versions I've seen. I usually think that subs are far better, but this is certainly an exception.
