Even when we’re watching a massive amorphous demon wreak havoc on a local Emishi village in Japan, the film has such fluidity and motion, that nothing ever feels confined to the actual medium itself. Hayao Miyazaki’s “Princess Mononoke” is one of the very few animated epics from Ghibli and Miyazaki not fully set in the sky, but Miyazaki is brilliant about making the world seem so open and vast. I saw “Kiki’s Delivery Service” years before and loved it, and then came this hardcore, dark fantasy epic that took a lot of bold ideas about the environment and brought it in to new heights. The great thing about Studio Ghibli is there is no wrong way to enter in to their universe. Years after the Oscar buzz, I discovered “Princess Mononoke” and the brilliance of Studio Ghibli.
#PRINCESS MONONOKE ENGLISH DUB REVIEW MOVIE#
My teacher in high school kept a poster of the movie up on her bulletin board and I thought the movie looked amazing. The event will also feature a screening of the never-before-released music video directed by Hayao Miyazaki, On Your Mark!īack when “Princess Mononoke” hit the states in 1999, I literally had no idea who Hayao Miyazaki was.
