Before it ever arrived in the U.S.， this epic， animated 1997 fantasy had already made history as the top-grossing domestic feature ever released in Japan， where its combination of mythic themes， mystical forces， and ravishing visuals tapped deeply into cultural identity and contemporary， ecological anxieties. For international animation and anime fans， Princess Mononoke represents an auspicious next step for its revered creator， Hayao Miyazaki ( My Neighbor Totoro， Kiki's Delivery Service)， an acknowledged anime pioneer， whose painterly style， vivid character design， and stylized approach to storytelling take ambitious， evolutionary steps here.

Set in medieval Japan， Miyazaki's original story envisions a struggle between nature and man. The march of technology， embodied in the dark iron forges of the ambitious Tatara clan， threatens the natural forces explicit in the benevolent Great God of the Forest and the wide-eyed， spectral spirits he protects. When Ashitaka， a young warrior from a remote， and endangered， village clan， kills a ravenous， boar-like monster， he discovers the beast is in fact an infectious demon god， transformed by human anger. Ashitaka's quest to solve the beast's fatal curse brings him into the midst of human political intrigues as well as the more crucial battle between man and nature.
(Recommended for ages 13 and older).
