A breath-taking, beautiful movie.

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2001)

Never has there been a movie quite like this, nor can you expect to see anything like it again. A truly unique jewel of a movie, Princess Mononoke got just the recognition it deserved when it was re-released to North America. Finally, an American company realised the full merits of an anime film, and put in some real effort to dub the film in English. Also, this one can actually be found in the recent releases section of your video store, rather than stuck away in the tiny Foreign Film corner.
Fans and non-fans of anime alike will enjoy this amazing movie about gods vs demons, magic vs technology, progress vs. preservation. Though distributed by a Disney company, there is nothing Disney-ish about this tale, which features several violent scenes not suitable for the little ones. The deep story and beautiful artwork of this movie make it a must-see, an instant classic which rivals the best films to ever come out of the Mouse House, or any studio for that matter.
