Summary: An Astonishing Anime
Review: Wow this was one of my first owned animes. Everything in this movie is just amazing. First off the animation is top notch. Everything is just so beautifully drawn and colored. The charecters are interesting and you want to know and see more of them. And there is alot of story and a deep plot. It is enough to keep you going through the whole movie. Miyazki and studio Ghibli did a great job on this. I always expect the best from them. This is one of my favorites. I am waiting for Miyazakis next movie named Howls floating castle or something like that.

Summary: I recomend this movie to all anime fans !
Review: This movie has a good cast of stars, it's 134 minutes long, and it's a top hit at Hollywood Video[ that's where I rented it at]! They even recomend this movie to friends!
The resons this movie is rated PG-13 are nudity, getting arms and heads chopped off,and some swearing. This movie is also very gory[ in other words, it has a lot of blood in it]. So kids probely 7 & under should NOT see this. It's not my favorite movie, but it is very good.
Basically, it is about this prince who gets cused by a god and leaves his village. But there is alot more to it then that. How do know I'm right? Watch the video! Don't let those CURSED reviews stop you!

Summary: pretty good for my first
Review: At first, I had some misgivings about the whole "anime" thing. I figured they all had bad animation and bad plots. Well, this one, my first, surprised me. The animation was as good as I have ever seen, while the story is very interesting.
It is about young man who is infected by a plague of hatred. He has to rid himself of the plague, for it has taken over his arm and will take over his whole body and soul. At the same time, his quest leads him to be the mediator between two clashing cultures: iron making people and forest loving animals.
As "anime" goes, I hear it is one of the better ones, but for just an entertaining movie, well it is different, but not bad.

Summary: WOW
Review: The visual effects were awesome and breathtaking. This movie wasn't your average run of the mill character undeveloped movie. The movie has a lot of symbolism and has a deep message that pertains to all. The action was amazing. If you are a fan of Japanimation this movie is absolutely right for you.

Summary: Spectacular Anime
Review: Master filmmaker Miyazaki has created one of the most beautiful animated movies I've ever seen. Frankly, I'm beyond impressed. Anime seems to have a much more realistic feel and the themes are very adult in nature. With intellectual themes, magical creatures and mature relationship issues, this is one captivating movie. Even though the film doesn't make judgments about good or evil, it does make a statement that pervades the entire story. The message is ecological in nature and asks many questions about the role of humans and animals on the planet. The characters have to deal with loyalty, fate and death. The characters are really not trying to save the planet, they are dealing more with survival issues. Princess Mononoke was raised by wolves on a mountain. She wears a fur type coat with ears attached. Very cute. The mountain is ruled by the forest spirit who never speaks, but has the power to give or take life. The tiny forest spirits that rattle their heads are adorable. They are like little ghosts. The forest spirit changes shape at night and when he walks through the forest as a "deer god," flowers grow around his hooves. The forest is so beautiful it is not difficult to see why the animals want to preserve the pristine location. The animals all talk and are larger than most animals. In fact, they are actually gods defending their mountains. There is quite a bit of violence so this is not really an animated movie for children. They might be a bit frightened by the boar crawling with demon worms or the huge explosion that kills the boars. Ashitaka takes up the role of warrior and kills a demon-boar monster threatening his village. In killing this angry beast, he is cursed and retains a marking on his skin from the battle. When he arrives in the forest, he finds himself torn between helping the animals and helping the humans. "Ashitaka: Look, everyone! This is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon now it will kill me! Fear and anger only make it grow faster!" I think it is honor that drives him to help the women of Irontown. I don't think he really is fighting on the side of Lady Eboshi. At least we don't want him to because she is after all trying to kill the forest spirit. I think Ashitaka is trying to take both sides or is at least trying to promote peace. He sees that humans need to work to make a living and that might include chopping down a few trees. The wolf tells him that when the trees are chopped down they cry. I don't like chopping down trees, but I don't think they cry. ;) That was when the movie went off into a more mythological interpretation. While Princess Mononoke takes the side of the wild boar tribe, Ashitaka takes the side of the outcasts working in an iron mine. A much more realistic feel than most Disney animations. This also has a much deeper emotional appeal for adults. I could have watched the dragonflies and butterflies in this movie for a much longer period of time. The delicate mist floating over the lush hillsides was amazing in itself. The beauty of the forest spirit was just amazing and really you just have to see this movie to believe how beautiful animation can be. The scenes of the Night walker are just astounding from an animation perspective.

Summary: Open your Mind
Review: Yes this is a cartoon, but this cartoon is the best movie I've seen to date. The art work is fantastic, the story involving, and the chracters memorable. I challenge you to step outside the box and at least rent this movie. Though it maybe a cartoon, it is full of imagination, and will captivate you more than most of today's movies, and it will change your life for the better.

Summary: Great, Especially for Those New To or Uninterested in Anime
Review: Far too many people hear "anime" and automatically have some bad connotation. They think it's too childish or too mature. This movie is a great place to start, whether you want to see anime or are completely turned off by the genre. Why? First, it was produced domestically by Disney, and you know they aren't going to put out something too racey or ridiculous. Second, the voices are people you know, like Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton (and someone who sounds a lot like James Earl Jones). What else makes this so appealing? Well, Billy Bob Thornton himself said that watching this, he forgot it was animated early into the movie. The story is also compelling, with a rather Lord of the Rings-esque fantasy appeal. The basic plot is that a boy must travel to find the Spirit of the Forest to have a curse removed from him. On the way, he comes across a mining town, and the story moves into a "harmony with nature" kind of message. Although it gets much more complicated, I'd prefer not to spoil too much of the movie. Besides the story and familliar voices, the animation in the movie is excellent. For those who have watched a fair amount of anime, it becomes obvious that there have been dramatic changes in quality over time. This move is recent enough that it has a high quality animation.
