Detailed product description

Princess Mononoke depicts a mystical battle between Animal Gods of the forest and humans during Japan's Muromachi Period. Young Ashitaka receives a fatal infection after a demonic wild boar attacks his northern village. Seeking a cure, he sets out to locate the deer-like god Shishigami. Along the way, he sees the rape of the Earth by a mining village. The constant plundering by the village has brought the wrath of the Wolf God, Moro, who attacks the village along with San, a human who was raised by the wolf god. She communicates with the nature spirits -- which is why she is called Princess Mononoke ("spirits of things"). Ashitaka wants these opposing forces to co-exist, and he hopes to bring peace between San and the ironworks owner, Lady Eboshi. However, he is thwarted as higher powers, intent on killing the Shishigama, intrude, and a battle erupts over the future of all nature.

This is Miyazaki's best movie! The voice actors match the characters perfectly and the story is so moving that I was in tears through most of it!This is not a movie for little children though. There is gore in this movie, from heads and arms coming off. If you love wolves though and a great story about a prince's journey to save not only the forest the wolf god and other gods live in, but also the humans that are destroying the forest and find a way to bring both together in peace, then you'll enjoy this one.

This is my favorite Ghibli film by far. If you like this movie i suggest u invest in the movies "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" and "Tales from Earthsea" both almost as good as Mononoki and Spirited Away. Castle in the Sky is also a great movie. Let me know what you think of them

Princess Mononoke is the only environmental/anti-war movie that I can stand. Hayao Miyazaki's vision is full of life and depth, and the script and actions are all brilliant in execution. The heart that went into this production is phenomenal. Why I like its anti-war and environmental sentiments is because it neither deifies or demonizes the people on either side of the conflict. The forces of nature (personified by the gods) are depicted as really not caring about humanity. Nature is not a cuddly teddy bear or a bunch of baby seals giving you doe eyes. It's not even Bambie (though we do have a deer god in here). Nature is mysterious and vast, and it does not speak on its own behalf to plead with humanity. And as tranquil and beautiful as it can be, it is also dangerous and does not care for or about humanity. On the flip side, the human settlement, our main antagonist is someone who is just trying to make her way in the world. She is a compassionate character who employs lepers and women rescued from brothels to do a good, honest day's work in order to survive and turn a profit while doing so. They are not evil for evil's sake, and the true conflict is one of survival and the right to exist. It is this much more honest portrayal of humanity and nature that rings true rather than the more shallow premise of 'nature good, man evil'. This is Miyazaki's most mature and adult oriented movie, so it is the only one in his arsenal I cannot recommend for the whole family, but I can recommend to anyone mature enough to process the information. It bears repeated viewings and not only is it gorgeous to look at, it is possibly the finest English dub of any Japanese movie to date.

I've checked the stock of Princess Mononoke for months and its always out of stock!! Wal-Mart must get on this.. Not for my sake but for all mankind. Princess Mononoke is most definitely one of the best Studio Ghibli creations of all time. So please make it easier for myself and others to purchase this amazing work of art from Wal-mart.com instead of Amazon!

This film isn't exactly one of their most kid friendly movies, but it's still an epic masterpiece. The story follows a cursed prince named Ashitaka who journeys to find the source of his curse and hopefully the cure. Instead he finds conflict between a mining town and the spirits of the forest that surround them. Trying his best to find a solution for all sides, Ashitaka must act quickly to prevent all out disaster.
