COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent submitted by Daniel Saltzman on January 4, 2010, 12:16pm A rousing film exploring humanity's often tenuous relationship with nature and how greed can blind us to the point of disaster. But at the same time, the ability to redeem oneself is stressed here, as it is in many of Miyazaki's films. One the wonderful things about the films produced by his studio is that there is no such thing as a purely good or evil character. Everyone has faults, some bigger than others, but ultimately, their motives are based in good intentions if looked at from their point of view.

Princess Mononoke submitted by pandangel12 on June 22, 2011, 10:04am An excellent story on how nature and humans collide. This breathtaking movie will have your heart pounding. The charactors are deep, story plot dramatic and there's even a hint of romance! An excellent movie to watch.

good movie submitted by codyson159 on July 11, 2011, 2:09pm this is a very good movie

Great! submitted by ashflowtuff on August 14, 2011, 5:49pm Great movie - highly recommended!

Princess Mononoke submitted by marisal on August 15, 2011, 10:25am This movie was good but kinda violent.

Interesting submitted by johnsoem on August 15, 2011, 8:45pm It explores some fascinating and relevant ground, but it moves slowly and you need to be familiar with legends. Beautiful, but not my cup of tea.

My favorite Miyazaki movie submitted by williamc on July 13, 2012, 9:51am Excellent movie! The plot is developed really well, the acting is nice and the soundtrack (Hisaishi) is REALLY good :)

Beautiful submitted by ima_rom on July 15, 2012, 5:18am Beautiful and very environmentally friendly.

Amazing Movie!! submitted by gxl on July 17, 2012, 2:32pm So interesting, I love how this movie involves nature!!

awesome submitted by jszchen on July 28, 2012, 8:32pm This movie draws you in

Fantastic! submitted by duncanreitz on November 4, 2013, 4:39pm Miyazaki has done it again! Powerful animation, excellent characters, and extraordinary plot! However, I wish that the disc didn't have as many scratches, because the movie kept pausing and skipping.

Fav Ghibli Movie submitted by asopijw65 on August 3, 2014, 11:03am One of the best Studio Ghibli movies in my opinion. Watched it when I was a kid and it's what really got me into Ghibli. Great characters and gray type enemies.

Fun submitted by cowmooflage on August 4, 2014, 8:32am Great movie with a great animation

Meaningful, important and beautiful submitted by Kikumatsu97 on June 16, 2015, 2:58pm As with all of the other Miyazaki movies this one has meaning and thought and is the kind of movie I just love to curl up with on a Sunday afternoon and delve into. It's such an easy and visually captivating film. It's always been my belief that animation can open the mind a bit wider than anything a standard script for real actors can represent, because you can literally do anything. Drawn and painted by hand, this artful masterpiece is one I'm very glad I didn't somehow miss.

Five out of Five submitted by Avliss on August 1, 2015, 7:28pm Hands down one of my favourite animated films of all times. The combination of gorgeous animation and music, plus Miyazaki's ability to add depth even to background characters, makes for an amazing film. Like most of Miyazaki's films, humanity's role in and against nature comes to the forefront and really makes one think about how we impact our world.

Princess Mononoke submitted by SBNB on August 1, 2015, 8:49pm It started well with good music, but then it got boring.

thrilling film submitted by ishhewitt on July 14, 2016, 5:14pm This is another great Miyazaki film. Drama, suspense, heart, action. Recommend!

Fantastic submitted by mrajraspn08 on August 16, 2016, 10:38am Miyazaki's work is always beautiful and stunning. This one in particular has a fantastic message. I would highly recommend exploring the making of it--for example, the "sludge" is based on Miyazaki's experience with anger. Incredibly interesting, and adds a whole new level to the movie. Wonderful, wonderful film.

Princess Mononoke submitted by leenajong on August 20, 2016, 12:39am Nice but long movie gor kids

dramatic story submitted by kbahleda on July 3, 2018, 6:36pm This Miyazaki film was one of the most dramatic. It was long as well, but still very beautifully animated.

amazing submitted by srahman on July 21, 2018, 11:49am I could watch this movie a billion times over, it's definitely one of my favorite Hiyao Miyazaki films along with Howl's Moving Castle. Mr. Miyazaki never disappoints!

YEAH submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 1:34pm I skipped my senior prom to see this in the theater. I have no regrets.

Amazing! submitted by Smileyfrowns on August 20, 2018, 11:03pm This movie is probably not for younger children as there is gore and some scary scenes. But this movie has the most beautiful illustrations, and messages about the environment and humans. It's such a beautiful movie!

Beautiful but Scary submitted by dntanzer on August 31, 2018, 9:47am This is a gorgeous movie both in art and its exploration of human vs. nature and how that is damaging our world. It's definitely violent and bloody and not geared towards children.

Intelligent submitted by lstorc on August 31, 2018, 9:51pm Fantastic portrayal of human dynamics and nature! Beautiful artwork! Strong recommendation

Wonderful but ages 15 and up submitted by Jenny Boudreaux on January 4, 2019, 8:06pm Beautiful visuals, interesting storyline, and animated (no pun intended!) characters. Very stressful and/or bloody at some parts though. Overall it's one of my top 10 favorite movies.

Favorite Miyazaki Movie! submitted by inewton on August 5, 2019, 1:57pm This is one of the greatest animated, if not overall, movies ever! Amazing cast of complex characters with complicated, and very human, traits and flaws. The environmentalism themes are very powerful and seem like they'll be forever relevant. Lovely imagery and animation too, altogether you can't go wrong with this movie!

Incredibly complex characters submitted by journeyhawthorne on August 7, 2022, 11:47am Studio Ghibli's works are incredible, and Princess Mononoke is no exception. I'm in awe of how incredibly complex the characters are throughout the film. There is no pure "good versus evil" here--the film comfortably sits in shades of moral grey. As others have mentioned, this story has strong environmentalist themes, as do most of Miyazaki's works. This is a Ghibli film for older audiences--while Ponyo is a great film for the younger viewers, Princess Mononoke will resonate best with those who can understand its complexity.
