Princess is one of Studio Chibli’s best animated movie’s. Princess Mononoke takes place in ancient Japan. The movie opens to see the hero, Ashitaka, saving his village from a demon. Immediately a good start with an opening like that. After defeating it, he discovers a gruesome scar on his arm. He is told by the Village Elders that the scar is a curse, and will grow and infest his whole body, and to keep it from spreading to anyone else, Ashitaka is banished from the village. Thus, he sets off to find a cure for his curse. Before long he arrives at an Iron-mining town, ruled by a nature-abusing woman. From this point on, the plot gets so thick it’d be hard to write about it, and ultimately climaxes with a war between Man and Nature. - @LittleMissRedHead of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
