MCT:October 5, 2008I actually have only seen bits and pieces of the movie. Very few movies have ever made me feel annoyed at being apart of a large family that refuses to let me watch a movie, haha.

MCT:September 29, 2008Miyazaki's worlds are so complete, that they completely draw you in. After watching this movie, I wish the world was the way it is potrayed here. Wonderful story-telling, beautiful imagery, and an adventurous plot. What more could you want in a movie, animated or otherwise?

A wonderful tale from another time and place,told with great talent and amazing imagination.And even if the tale is set in the Medieval Japan,its message is timely, maybe more than timely,perhaps timeless.There's an enchanted forest, populated with fantastic creatures,some cute and harmless,some beautiful beyond words,others fierce and frightening,giant beasts like wild boars and white wolves, nature gods,spirits and demons.This magic place is about to disappear in the name of progress,because man's greed, selfishness and desire to expand.But this is more than a fable about man vs. nature, the story is extremely complex and unpredictable until the very end,conflicts are generated by the interaction of different intriguing characters with different agendas.In the end,there are no villains,just protagonists and antagonists, the characters have nuances and contradictions,they are not plain black and white,everyone is doing what he/she thinks is the best thing.Scenes of chilling violence are followed by scenes of breathtaking beauty,the animation is great and nicely detailed,the music is beautiful...what can you ask more?Princess Mononoke is one of the best animations ever created!

wahhhh!!!! as expected of Miyazaki to produce great movies ^O^ hahaha nya~ some parts scared me a bit though (like da curse)

MCT:September 2, 2008This is Ghibli being edgy. Blood, war, and the ever-present nature conflict. By the way, it also looks phenomenal and has some skilled voice acting in the English dub. Kudos!

strangly entertaining. i like this, the metaphors and lifestyles could teach modern society a thing or two about change. respect isn't just for people, its animals, places and the earth itself.

an anime with a brain. Miyazaki's imagination is far-out. it entertains and at the same time raises your level of consciousness

Enchanting, magical, a wonderful world and setting. Princess Mononoke has a powerful environmental message, and a fervent political undertone. In my opinion, Ghibli's greatest film.

I watched part of it. Wanna finish it. The problem was, it was in Japanese, which I don't understand, subtitled in Chinese, which I can't read that well. So I guess it's more like "start over" than "finish."

probably my favorite Miyazaki film to date and second-favorite Ghibli film (Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies taking top honors). profound, thought-provoking, and still magically entertaining. the human characters are so brilliantly and earnestly flawed that the line between traditional pro and antagonists is blurred almost beyond recognition. a beautifully-animated fantasy epic with historical and mythological perspective, gripping adventure, honest moral conflict, a dark edge, lovably playful tree spirits, and just the faintest spark of romance. awesome.

One of the greatest anime of all time. A enchantingly wonderful tale with characters you want to know more about and a setting I can't get enough of. It's like Miyazaki turns dream worlds into animation.

It's been a while since I've seen this one but I do remember thinking it was well done. I don't think my younger kids would like it much but my son might.

With PRINCESS MONONOKE, Miyazaki churned out a highly acclaimed masterpiece that became the highest grossing movie of Japan, until his later SPIRITED AWAY dethroned it. Darker and more violent than any of Miyazaki's other films, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a dramatic multi-layered story about an Emishi prince who tries to settle the brutal conflict between a clan of human outcasts and the vicious gods of the forest. Most animated movies tend to portray characters as either "heroes" or "villains", but MONONOKE eschews these kinds of stock roles in favor of telling a story in which practically all the characters are flawed figures trying to find their way in the world. I think this makes MONONOKE all the more mesmerizing as a film, combined with the spectacular animation (check out the Forest Spirit and Nightwalker sequences) and stirring music. Disney/Miramax may have made their share of marketing mistakes with this movie, but their translation job was not among them. Neil Gaiman's English script achieves the difficult task of remaining faithful to Miyazaki's screenplay while maintaining a natural, poetic flow in his dialogue. I've read all kinds of complaints about using big-name stars in animated feature films, but in the case of any of the Disney-Ghibli dubs I have to say that this approach has paid off rather well, and PRINCESS MONONOKE's voice cast is no exception. The actors assembled for the dub--including Billy Crudup, Minnie Driver, Gillian Anderson and especially Keith David--all provide good, solid vocal performances. Some folks have issues with Billy Bob Thornton and Claire Danes's voice acting here, but in my opinion, they both did great jobs too. It remains one of the best Anime dubs ever produced. Of course, hardcore fans will probably go for the Japanese language track, which is thankfully included on the DVD.

One of Miyazaki's best films. It is not only an amazing action/adventure/fantasy film, it also promotes morality and environmental awareness. Miyazaki transcends dimensions, and the 2-dimensional characters inhabiting his worlds are stunningly, remarkably human. This is his medium and he commands it with his truly masterful direction.

A Very Spiritual Driven film that I def need to see again and again. Another Miyazaki film that will be a classic. When watching this I def did not expect what I saw. How truly original and visually stunning this turned out to be. I know some out there don't like Anime but I think his films are in a genre by themselves. Def see all of his films you won't be disappointed...
