Studio Ghibli does it again!

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2017)

"Princess Mononoke" is a brilliant animated film from 1997 by the extremely talented "Studio Ghibli". This film follows a young man whose main goal is to bring balance to the spirit world and the world of humans. However, this is very difficult as both humans and the spirits are constantly trying to destroy each other. This is an incredibly well done animated film with a very good message and theme. The theme being war will only destroy the world and possibly all that we have built, but if we work together and stop fighting we can live in harmony and make a beautiful world. This movie was definitely made to make people think about the environment and about how we treat others.
This movie is one of my favorite films from Studio Ghibli, and that is mostly due to how well the message is integrated into the film. I also felt that the characters in this film feel very real and I love that! The animation for this movie is absolutely incredible, and I really do admire Hayao Miyazaki for this film as he not only directed and wrote this movie very well, but he himself animated a lot of this film and I think that is super special. I will say however the small downside this film has is it is quite long, however I do not feel that any part of this movie could have been cutout, as it all was needed. This movie is definitely worth watching, in fact I tell people to watch this film all the time, because it truly is a special film that most adults and some kids should watch.
