I had heard so much hype around this film...and I saw why.
With beautiful animation, expert directing, and great translating, Princess Mononoke weaves a dark but uplifting tale about a cursed prince traveling to meet his destiny as he is caught up in a war between mankind and nature itself.
Absolutely terrific film! Highly recommend it to any anime fan (and more).
Just finished watching this with subtitles...my first time. Sorta reminds me of Avatar in some ways. So epic! Even though it's an 11 year old movie now, it still shines epicness. So good. I highly recommend it!
Just finished watching this one again. What a great movie! The story is great and the animation is fantastic!
wow. it was beautiful, had a great message, and awesome characters! Only downside was that it was a little too long.
I really enjoy this movie. Everytime I watch it though i keep thinking i'm missing part of the story. Would be neat if there was a series.
It's about time I got around to seeing this... it's only taken me, what, 5 or 6 years? Anyway, it was worth the wait. This movie was magical and meaningful. Plus, wolves! The only thing I'm confused about is why the movie is called Princess Mononoke.... (read more) It's about time I got around to seeing this... it's only taken me, what, 5 or 6 years?

i just don't get these anime movies, why do all the men and boys look like women
This is definately one of Miyazki's highlight movies you must see. With a captivating story and characters, as well as some incredible special effects and visuals Mononoke is a must see. It is truly a beautiful piece of work.
haha i would never of watched this if it wasnt for my cousin katie but it turned out not to be that bad just long as crap lol
"listen, everybody wants to have everything. that's the way the world is. but I MIGHT ACTUALLY GET IT!"
Critic Reviews
The imagery, ranging from sublime mountain-smashing power to firefly delicacy (individual waterdrops splashing on a rock) is exuberant and intoxicating.full review
Princess Mononoke is a great achievement and a wonderful experience, and one of the best films of the year.full review
The movie has a scope that makes Hollywood's homiletic, follow - your - dream fables look even more solipsistic.full review
A windswept pinnacle of its art, Princess Mononoke has the effect of making the average Disney film look like just another toy story.
