PRINCESS MONONOKE (2001)

Cast

Plot

Princess Mononoke was raised by wolves and sounds an awful lot like Baz Luhrmann's ill-fated Juliet. Critically acclaimed, this is one of the biggest manga films of recent years. When a young warrior sets out to find the cure to an illness that is threatening his life he comes across a host of characters that must all fight against gods present in the forests. Mononoke leads the animal gods and the film is clearly an allegory demonstrating the struggle between man and nature through stunning animation and epic storytelling. An all-star cast lend their voices to make this accessible and fantastic.
