Summary: Disney-ified Anime
Review: This is NOT straight anime... this is watered down disney style anime.

If you are just getting into anime this movie would be a good introduction to the style. But keep in mind normal anime is much more violent, vulgar, and has more nudity.

This movie is still a decent movie in my opinion, there's a decent storyline, some cool animation effects, beautiful artwork, original charaters, and a good setting. But there's definitely better movies out there as far as Japanimation goes.

Anime movies typically have more attractive female characters too =)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: I have seen alot of anime and this was defentily one of the best. The storyline and grapihics were awseome.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'd actually rate it 10 out of 5 stars.
Review: Okay, first of all, you don't even need to like anime to love this movie. Its one of those movies you just love. The music is great, the animation is great, ... its just great. If it were a woman I'd marry it. Anyways, I have a lot of anime(about 40 DVD's and about 5 VHS.), trust me this is a must buy. I have personally seen it about 40 times. I cant stop watching it along with Rurouni Kenshin OAV (Samurai X). Whoops, Im reviewing 2 things at once. Anyways, you have to get it, yes Im talking to you, hey look at me,.... GET IT!!! NOW !!!!!!!!!

Summary: A Must See!!!
Review: Princess Mononoke is an incredible Anime from arguably Japan's finest animator. The story line is rich with imagination and beautifully portrays the complexity of the human spirit. The illustration of landscapes and vistas as well as the action, is of course, equally engaging. The English track features recognized American actors and grand orchestration, although certain phrases may seemed rushed, this is definitley not a reason to avoid this movie. Calling this 'cartoon' an epic is certainly no understatement. I highly recommend this movie for both Anime fans and first timers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arguably the best animated film I've seen
Review: This film has a lot to offer. The story, which begins seemingly prototypically as a maturation story, somehow entwines us into a world of interwoven morals and sadness. It tells of that age when the world lost its innocence and simplicity and became victim to the complexity of human existence. It seems almost to reflect back sadly on the day that mankind began to treat nature with ambiguity, respectful of its beauty and wonder, yet pragmatic in recognizing the resources it contained.

The story is very sharp and (save for some early scenes of violence) not at all stereotypical. There are only a few characters that we view as having a certain moral turpitude, most of the main characters instead being utterly human in their ways and actions.

The dialogue is profound at times, light and entertaining at others. It seems to be more philosophical and sophisticated than the dialogue we would expect from modern characters, because perhaps the world is not yet so pragmatic.

The artwork is spectacular at times, mostly due to the creativity and wonder that the director has infused into it. What we see is a world that we afterwards long for, particularly serene settings deep in the forest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A well made film
Review: While the themes are none too subtle, the film itself is a spectatular example of what a movie can do. I thought the english dubbing (even though I prefer subtitles) was very well done, and of course the visuals are stunning. I highly reccomend this film to almost anyone, even those who aren't too interested in Japanese animation.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad but...
Review: If you like deep and complex anime, like me, then this is not your kind of movie. Althogh it has good animation, the story is plain and simple. I think it's a film for a young (15's) audience. If you like realy deep anime better go for AKIRA, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION and Ghost in the shell.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High Quality Anime
Review: This is one of the best movies I have seen, not just anime-wise, but movie-wise. I rented this right after Ghost in the Shell, and this is close to 300 times better. This movie does not get boring at all, unlike Ghost in the Shell, which is boring except for about ten sprawled out minutes. If you're looking for some high quality anime this is one title you'll want to check out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Ever! =*+*=
Review: I first saw this movie when my friend recommended me to watch it. I was a little hesitant @ first, but then about halfway throught the movie, it had already become my favorite! I loved the story line, the animation, and the characters! I recommend this movie to everyone that likes a little action/advernture!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a gem!
Review: Like far too many adults, initially I was quite hesitant to watch this movie. However, the more the tale unfolded, the more glued I was. This isn't a cartoon. This is film. And indeed it is a very good one. It's special; a gem. It's one of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard, and quite frankly, it's a story everyone, at any age, could benefit from. The only adjective that truly would do such a movie justice is, "enchanted". For this is no ordinary movie. Don't miss out on this one.
