Skip Pokemon and see this.

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 1999)

Really one of the best movies of the year, animated or otherwise. Princess Mononoke (or Mononoke Hime to all of you fanboys) is a wonderful example of anime freed from cliches and stereotypes. Plus it shows that English dubbing can be done right with decent actors, although I'm sure the story is better in the original Japanese. If you haven't seen this movie, why not!? Go to the one theater in 100 miles showing it and show them you support theatrical anime in the US! The only bad thing that can be said about this movie is that Miramax is doing a horrible marketing job. ONE theater in the Washington DC area? Is that a sad joke? See this now! If Princess Mononoke doesn't make any money, the only anime we'll get is Pokemon 2....
