Princess Mononoke

## **OVERVIEW**

Princess Mononoke is the 13th film of Warner Bros. Films. The Film tells the story how Dory and her friends snuck out and set off on their journey to find out who is responsible for Nago's curse.

## **THE PLOT**

The Film Begins where The Great Barrier Reef is attacked by a demon. Dory kills the demon before it reaches the village. The demon is revealed to be a seaboar god, Nago, corrupted by an iron ball lodged in his body. Jenny tells Nago that she bow down before him and pass on in peace and them no hatred, and Nago has his last words to the villagers "Disgusting little creatures, soon all of you will feel my hate and suffer as I have suffered." That night, Dory and her friends sneak out and head west.

Heading west, Dory and her friends meet Sebastian and Flounder, who tells them that they might find help from the Great Forest Spirit, a Kirin-like creature by day and a giant Nightwalker by night. Nearby, a convoy returning to Irontown, led by Captain Gutt, is attacked by a wolf clan led by the sirenas. Riding one of the whales is Marisa. Later, They discovers two injured Irontown fish, and Dory sees Marisa and Marzel; he greets them, but they ignore him and leave. They carries the injured through the underwater forest, where they encounters many kodama, and glimpses the Forest Spirit.

In Irontown, Dory learns Captain Gutt has built the town by clear-cutting forests to reclaim ironsand and produce iron, leading to conflict with the forest gods. The town is a refuge for social outcasts, including former brothel workers and lepers, whom Eboshi employs to manufacture firearms to defend against the gods. Dory also learns Captain Gutt is responsible for turning Nago into the demon. Captain Gutt explains that Marissa, is the daughter of Pescoro and Camila and the Princess of Coronado.

Meanwhile, Marlin panics that the children are missing, Marlin volunteers that they are going after the children and they agreed.

Soon after, Marissa infiltrates Irontown to kill Captain Gutt, but Dory intervenes, knocking them both unconscious. As they leaves the town carrying Marisa, Sebastian is shot by a villager, and falls unconscious while heading for the forest. Marisa awakens and is about to kill them, but hesitates when Tad tells her that she is beautiful. She takes them to the forest, and decides to trust them after the mighty Forest Spirit saves his life. Marisa soon begins to develop romantic feelings for Dory and her friends.

Meanwhile, a large clan of seaboars, led by the blind seaboar-god Okkoto attack Irontown to save Coronado. Captain Gutt prepares for battle and sets out to kill the Forest Spirit. Gupta, revealed to be a mercenary, intends to give the god's head to the Emperor of Japan in return for protection from local daimyo lords. According to legend, the severed head of the Forest Spirit can grant immortality and longevity.

In the battle, Okkoto is corrupted by multiple gunshot wounds. Disguising themselves in seaboars' skins, Captain Gutt's men trick the rampaging Okkoto into leading them to the Forest Spirit. Marisa desperately tries to stop him, but is swept up in the corruption consuming his body. Dory suddenly realizes Captain Gutt was the one who put curses, When Dory and her friends arrive, they find Okkoto, who turned into a demon and Marisa was consumed. They attempted to save her, but is also swallowed up into the corruption, until Pescoro attacks the fully corrupted Okkoto, and appeals to Dory to save her, which she does. After that, Captain Gutt and his gang arrive and Dory confronts Gigantopithecus that he will leave their home alone.

Just as everything seemed hopeless, at that moment, Gill and the gang, stood up to the big ape, demanding that he release them. Gutt, amused at Gill' gumption, accepted the challenge laughingly, ordering Gupta to let Jacques have his blade. Gutt then openly laughed at Jacques, who could barely pull the blade out of the ice where it stood, but stopped his laughter once he saw that Jacques pulled the blade out. Calling for Jacques to fight, Gutt stood by, watching as Jacques flung the blade into the air, where it fell into the ice: Jacques instead burrowed through the ice towards Gutt, where he leaped out at once and smashed a heavy piece of ice on Gutt's foot, causing him to bellow in pain as the battle ensues.

During the battle, massive chunks of the continent's cliffs fell into the sea, launching a landmass upward that splits the Sweet Revenge in half, lifting Dory and Gutt hundreds of feet high. As the ice chunk they fight on slides toward the sea, Gutt attacks with his bone sword. Dory defends herself with a spear held in her scales. Gutt knocks the spear out of Dory's fins and swings his sword at the regal tang, barely missing her eye.

Dory tries to slap Gutt, but the pirate grabs her tail and pushes him off. Dory charges, but Gutt leaps up and swings from vines overhead, then leaps down and kicks Dory to the edge of the ice mass. Dory eyes the nearing sea, then turns back to Gutt as the fiendish pirate grabs a heavy log to finish her off. But Dory jumps onto the very back of the ice, acting like a seesaw, launching Gutt upwards. Dory catches the log and bats Gutt to the rock wall, sending the evil ape flying far, far away into the distance.

Restored, the Forest Spirit falls into the lake, healing the land, and cures everyone of the curse. Although Marisa tells the gang how much they means to her, Marisa still can't forgive everyone for their actions and decides to remain in the forest. Gill chooses to help rebuild Irontown, while Marisa tells Dory that she can take them a ride on the whale and back home.

Meanwhile, the adults were worried about their children until Charlie spots them and they all reunited at last. Dory introduces Flounder, Sebastian and Marisa, including Shira, Marzel, Pescoro and Camila. The film ends where Dory tells the story about their adventure.

In the post-credits scene, where Captain Gutt laid in pain, watching as a number of fins swam past him. At that moment, something shining caught Gutt's eye: in front of Gutt was a massive seashell where a female ape with flowing blonde hair lay amidst a bounty of fruits inside. The female ape called out to Gutt that they could rule the seas together and Gutt, smitten, swam closer to the female ape, reaching the seashell.

At that, the female ape revealed her true nature: she was really a siren casting an image and seized Gutt by the face, pulling him into the shell as it snapped shut, trapping the captain inside as more sirens swam towards them. All that could be heard of Gutt were shouts of pain as the siren eats him alive.
