Well, more praise never hurts!

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2000)

Miyazaki has always been THE maker of animated films. His works are intelligent, touching and beautiful to watch. What makes Mononoke Hime so special is that it surpasses all his previous works.
I've seen this movie five times on video, with English subtitles. It is still a stunning experience. Not merely beautiful, but a pure work of art. The soundtrack and the sounds have to be heard to be believed. The story is excellent, and... well, you get the picture.
Mononoke Hime puts Disney and other western fellows to shame. It will be the ultimate cartoon for years. Even if you do not like animated pictures, take a look at Mononoke Hime. It is an excellent movie by any standards. It will stand (along with Disney's Fantasia) as a classic to which all other animated films will be compared.
Thank you, Miyazaki. Thank you very much.
