“Hayao Miyazaki returns to head up the next Studio Ghibli film and this is one of the studio’s most popular and well-known films. Princess Mononoke is one of the first films people cite when speaking about the animation giant and it is well deserved. The film is truly a grandiose, fantasy epic that spirals through the forests of Japan.” -from my review on the site.
