movieoftheday: Princess Mononoke, 1997. Starring Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Gillian Anderson, Minnie Driver, Jada Pinkett Smith. (Director: Hayao Miyazaki) ————————————————————————— Plot: In this anime epic from director Hayao Miyazaki, Prince Ashitaka (Crudup) is infected with a lethal curse, and must travel to find a cure. On his journey, he discovers himself caught in a battle between a mining town and the animals of the surrounding forest. A girl raised by wolves (Danes) leads the animals, but the forest harbors deadly supernatural powers. I saw this seven years ago in my animation class, and it instantly became one of my favorite movies. It introduced me to Miyazaki (an animation GOD), and made me actually tolerant of anime (I had HATED it until Miyazaki). Gaiman’s translation is iffy, but it’s overall a FANTASTIC film with beautiful animation!
