#Princess mononoke english dub review movie#

Overall, Mononoke is the third highest grossing anime movie in Japan, next to 2001's Spirited Away and 2004's Howl's Moving Castle, both also by Miyazaki. Mononoke also became the highest grossing movie in Japan until Titanic took over the spot several months later. Roger Ebert placed the movie sixth on his top ten movies of 1999. There can be no clear victory, and the hope is that relationship between humans and the nature is cyclic.

There are no good and evil in this struggle and the sympathies of the film makers keep switching. The story concentrates on involvement of the outsider Ashitaka in the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans of the Iron Town who consume its resources.

The film was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997, and in the United States on October 29, 1999, in select cities and on November 26, 1999, in Canada.
