Princess Mononoke
(1997)
Directed by Hayao
Miyazaki this anime has an English dub featuring Billy Crudup,
Claire Danes, Minnie Driver and Billy Bob Thornton. The
industrialisation of a small town in historic Japan causes conflict
with the forest gods and spirits.
Studio Ghibli is
famous for it's animated out put and this film is really well made.
The main themes of the plot are the environment, change and loss of
innocence which are handled with a balanced view and religious over
tones. Redubbing in English works pretty well but there maybe one or
two cultural differences that confuse western viewers but otherwise
this is a really good film.
4/5
