Have you watched Princess Mononoke?
What's your favourite scenes?
Who are your favourite characters?

In Muromachi Japan, an Emishi village is attacked by a hideous demon. The last Emishi prince, ****, kills it before it reaches the village, but it manages to grasp his arm and curse him before its death. The curse grants him some superhuman strength, but it also causes him pain and will eventually kill him. The villagers discover that the demon was a boar god, corrupted by an iron ball lodged in his body. The village's wise woman tells **** that he may find a cure in the western lands that the demon came from, and that he cannot return to his homeland.

Heading west, **** meets Jigo, an opportunistic monk who tells **** he may find help from the Great Forest Spirit, a deer-like animal god by day and a giant Night Walker by night. Nearby, men on a cliffside herd oxen to their home of Iron Town, led by Lady Eboshi, and repel an attack by a wolf pack led by the wolf goddess Moro, whom Eboshi wounds with a gun shot. Riding one of the wolves is San, a human girl. Down below, **** encounters San and the wolves, who rebuff his greeting. He then manages to rescue two of the men fallen from the cliff and transports them back through the forest, where he briefly glimpses the Great Forest Spirit.

Looks really well made for the time period. Sometimes a film or a show can show it's age but this one holds up.

Good flick. One of a couple Miyazaki movies I haven't watched with the kids yet. (Maybe this summer with Riv and Maxy, after the little ones are asleep. They'll be nearly 14 and 13--------- old enough, I think.)

It's pretty good.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
