Princess Mononoke

A beautifully realized tale of civilization versus nature, ‘Princess Mononoke’ is a true epic by Japan’s master animator Hayao Miyazaki.

While protecting his village from a rampaging boar-god, the young warrior Ashitaka becomes afflicted with a deadly curse. To find the cure that will save his life, he journeys deep into sacred depths of the Great Forest Spirit’s realm where he meets San (Princess Mononoke), a girl raised by wolves. It’s not long before Ashitaka is caught in the middle of a battle between iron-ore prospecting humans and the forest dwellers. He must summon the spirit-powers and all his courage to stop man and nature from destroying each other.

“A windswept pinnacle of its art, ‘Princess Mononoke’ has the effect of making the average Disney film look like just another toy story.”
– ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“Hayao Miyazaki is a great animator, and his ‘Princess Mononoke’ is a great film... The artistry in ‘Princess Mononoke’ is masterful”
– Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
“The ‘Star Wars’ of animated feature”
– New York Post
