Princess Mononoke is a sweeping fantasy in 14th centuary Japan. Ashitaki, a young warrior, kills a monstrous beast that swarms out of the forest and threatens to destroy his village. In killing the beast, he is scarred. The wound threatens to kill him eventually unless he goes west to where the beast came from to find a cure. This heralds the begining of a sweepng eco-drama, in which we learn that the gods that inhabit the ancient forests of Japan are threaten by encroaching human civilisation. The story has nuances and complexities that we don't see in the usual Disney rubbish. It can get pretty violent so you might not want your kids to watch it.

Didn't you think it was really scary at times? I did! Good directors make good films, and good composers make good sountracks! :)

It's a great movie, with great soundtrack, with great realizer: Hayao Miyasaki.
