Length: 134 minutes
Written by: Hayao Miyazaki
Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki
Characters:
Summary: While protecting his village from a demon named Nako, young Ashitaka is infected with the demon's curse. He is told that it will eventually devour his soul and kill him. Though he may not be able to find a cure, Ashitaka sets out to explore and learn more about what turned Nako, once a boar, into a demon. He finds himself in the middle of a war between the forest and a mining colony. Ashitaka decides to help both sides, and tries to prevent anyone - man, beast or god - from being killed.
Commentary: I remember not too long ago, everyone (including people completely unfamiliar with anime) was talking about Princess Mononoke. It has a great story and is beautifully animated. The music is perfect for setting the mood, and everything about it seems to fit. I really can't find anything wrong with this movie.
Rating: 10/10
Reasons for Rating: Great story and characters, beautiful animation, wonderful music. GREAT OVERALL!
