I was really disappointed when Disney did no marketing on the film whatsoever and did not bother to give it a push it highly deserved. I waited on line opening weekend to see this film when the dub came out, and I think if you are a little open minded, you are sure to love and marvel at Princess Mononoke.

Why? Because this movie is so well done and is truly one of the best films of the 1990s (this also ranks as one of my top ten films of all time). As far as lips matching the voices, the job is very well done, and no one should be complaining about that.Įven if you are not into anime or any kind of animation I higly encourage you to check this film out. It’s hard to describe… it was what you may think San sounds like but not quiet. As for Danes, her performance is good, but I just felt her voice didn’t fit the character of San so well. But while he does capture the suavness and greediness to him, I just felt the southern accent didn’t fit. However, if there are two voices that don’t exactly fit well it is Claire Danes and Billy Bob Thornton. Gillian Anderson fits well as Moro, the Wolf God, while most of the supporting players are good.

Billy Crudup is perfect as Ashitaka, while Minnie Driver brings elegance but a tough edge to Lady Eboshi. The voice actors are splendid in their roles. It’s intelligent and I feel a great adaption. It is truly an excellent adaption, and Gaiman, a well known comic writer for such works as “Sandman” does not dumb it down. I mentioned above that Neil Gaiman’s adaption is really solid, as he keeps true to Miyazaki’s original script but touching it up himself for American audiences. What should be done? Also, Miyazaki’s direction creates a wonderful, magical but believable world. Present day industrial struggles are a perfect comparison with this film. Yes, man needs to proceed with civilization and sacrifices must be made, but nature has its life to carry on as well. The story arc is nicely developed too, but as I mentioned before, this movie gets you thinking, way after you have finished watching. While I feel the story does drag on a little bit at points, it never gets boring because there is so much to capture and so much going on, it keeps you really entertained and making you wonder what will happen next. Miyazaki is responsible for the story, where he creates some really deep characters that are three dimensional and have things to wonder about. Miyazaki’s script and Neil Gaiman’s adaption of it are each really solid. The tone that there is so much beauty to behold, but with the beauty, there is some darkness with it. The colors, the setting, it looks so lovely and captures the true tone of the film. A lot of the animation has blew me away, and I feel some animated sequences can only be done in animation and can’t be created for a live action film by any cost due to the scope and detail. Yes, it is Japanese animated, but it’s so gorgeous. I guess I’ll start off with the animation. Miyazaki has created an incredibly bold and wonderful film, with a lot of heart and a lot of depth. Of course, the man behind the film is Hayao Miyazaki. Ashitaka must come to terms with what he is experiencing, and find out if there is a way if the two sides can co-exist. San is with the wolf clan, where she was raised by wolves and thinks of a wolf herself. With this going on, Ashitaka meets with San, the Princess Mononoke, and gets caught in the middle of the battle of man versus nature. Eboshi is set on expanding and having the town move foward, but in doing so, she has wiped out a lot of the forest, which the animal Gods aren’t so happy about. Along the way, he meets the cold Lady Eboshi, a strong leader who runs the industrious Iron Town. Ashitaka sets off to stop the curse from consuming him. In this process however, Ashitaka is cursed and finds a piece of iron inside the boar. The film opens with Ashitaka, a brave warrior from a near extinct clan of… well, warriors as he fights off a boar demon. This lengthy epic takes place hundred of years ago in Japan, where animal Gods and humans live side by side, struggling to survive. Miyazaki knows the human spirit and is a master storyteller. What I love about his films is that while some of them are aimed for children (“Mononoke” is more for adult audiences), they are still so entertaining for adults as well. Miyazaki creates some wonderful and beautiful imagery, with well developed and interesting characters, all wrapped in breathtaking stories with deep themes about life. I’ve been a fan of his for many years as well as all that has come out of Studio Ghibli, his animation studio with Isao Takahata (the man behind the wonderful film Grave Of The Fireflies). First and foremost, Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time, and has definitely had the most influential impact on me.
