"The best animation I've seen."
5 stars"

After saving his village from a raging Demon-god a young warrior is infected with a curse, he journeys to the west to find a cure for his affliction before it kills him. There he becomes entangled in a battle between the natural gods and the fire power of industry.

From just the first scene in this movie you can tell your going to be treated to a memorable experience. The soundtrack is absolutely excellent and does a fine job of enhancing the movie's emotional impact. The PG rating is deceiving, it doesn't hold back in the gore department whenever someone gets shot or de-limbed and it deals with themes that most other cartoons would never touch.

With gorgeous animation, inspiring music and spectacular fight scenes I can find nothing to criticize about this film.

"Buy This, Watch It and You'll Love It"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A beautiful film, not only in looks but the story as well. The animation is smooth and rich with detail. The story offers a different kind of fairytale that is both lovely and horrible at the same time. The music fits the story and setting perfectly and the voices are done very well.

Not recommended for young kids as contains several limbs being torn off, lots of blood and a few corpses. Something a little different from the ‘fru fru’ animation we are usually subjected to.

Buy this, watch it and you'll love it – if not, there's something wrong with you.

"Intense and Wonderful Animation"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I really love Princess Mononoke, but this is not quite the one for the littlies to sit down and watch. The M/15 + rating should be an indication that this wonderful masterpiece is a step up in the intensity department. That being said, those of us who are able to handle the intensity are again treated to a beautifully created animation from Studio Ghibli. I found that the theme of respecting the world around us was again threaded through the story as well as what happens when our only goal is to destroy things to gain power. Another wonderful film that is entertaining and thought provoking at the same time.

"Stunning"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

One of the best of Studio Ghibli, the storyline and artwork is just absolutely stunning. If you haven't bought this yet, I definitely recommend adding it to your collection! :-)
