Princess Mononoke

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Review: Nothing can top this master piece. It is the best movie ever made. The only thing that comes close is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. It was wonderfuly dubbed. The only problem is that it can't be watched in its orignel Japanese form with subtitles. It is just common sence to do that. Disney needs to learn that if you are goi ng to bring an anime to america you need to keep it an anime. And Hayao Miyazaki is NOT the Waly Disney of Japan, Hayao Miyazaki is a billion times better.

Summary: Amazing.
Review: Princess Mononoke is one of my all time favorite anime movies. The animation is beautiful, the story is compelling, and the music is just wonderful. I, however, will not purchase the dub only DVD and I suggest everyone do the same. This movie is much better it it's orginal japanese audio... and I'm going to wait for a DVD release with english subtitles.

Summary: A waste for DVD's capability
Review: The film should only be 5 stars, if not for its being English dubbed. Released in DVD format, it should be very easy for Disney to put English subtitle and the original audio track among alternatives, not only because the original Japanese audio track is flawless and excellent, but also to show certain respect for the originality

As for the film's content, just excellent, beautiful.......

Summary: Possibly the greatest animation EVER
Review: This film must be seen to be believed. The animation is simply gorgeous and story is rich and engrossing. It can easily be seen in this movie that Japanese Animators are at least 20 years ahead of American animators like "Disney." Disney lost its "magic" after releasing "Pocahaunt Who?" Exactly, and now Disney's tag line is "There's magic in the stars, here and Disney Land..." YEA maybe at the theme park, but recent films that have come out have been horrible. Japanese animators, especially director Hayao Miyazaki have continued to produce magical and interesting worlds that unfold infront of the viewer telling an epic tale about power and greed with a subtle eco-environmental undertone. Princess Mononoke is Miyazaki's most recent work and should be in EVERYONE's collection. This is not a CHILD's MOVIE with sing-a-longs and "tra la la la la" flittiness, its ANIME. Watch Mononoke and witness one of the greatest stories ever told.

Summary: One of the best movies I've ever seen
Review: I have rarely seen a film which so envelops you in its world like Princess Mononoke. It's truly one of the most beautiful and involving and influential movies I've ever seen. There are images in it that you've never seen before.

Summary: A bold step for Anime
Review: Once in a while a gem of anime comes along and this is just one of them. The story is compelling and it's a refreshing change from the apocalyptic themes that most animes have, it involves normal people without super human strength. The animation is superb, layering effects that move the scenery are neatly done. A must see for everyone who loves anime and animation in general, you might even learn a lesson or two.

Summary: Elaborate, sweeping fairy tale for adults.
Review: I'm not an afficianado of Japanese animation, but Princess Mononoke caught my attention and my imagination despite that. Beautiful animation and a skillful English adaptation by Neil Gaiman bring alive a captivating tale of epic proportions. Though some of the voices for the English version were ill-inspired, actresses Minnie Driver and Gillian Anderson particularly bring their characters to life. All in all, the film is stunning and breathtaking.

Summary: ...
Review: I went back to the Art House theatre to see this 4 times, it was so good. I was floored by the beautiful animation, the moving storyline, and the haunting music. Having seen Hayao Miyazaki before, I knew what calibre of anime he produced. But nothing of his previous work could prepare me for "Princess Mononoke". It was amazing. While this IS animated, though, like most japanese anime it is not for little children. It has a fully adult storyline complete with realistic violence, which only serves to heighten the setting-Ancient Japan's Muromachi period. I only wish I could have seen it on the big screen a fifth time!

Summary: Wonderful movie!
Review: I've seen the japanese version of this anime, and it is amazing indeed. A must-have for all moving pictures fans!

Cannot beleive that the release date is January 1st 2001 though - is this a typo? And the rumors about the DVD NOT having a sub version better be false or else Disney have shot themselves in the foot. This release deserves to be liked in dub, and enjoyed in full - in sub!

Where are the other great titles from Studio Ghibili on DVD? My wallet is itching... ;)
