      Jack Mathews New York Daily News Done mostly in the style of hand-painted classic animation, with occasional digital assists, "Princess Mononoke is indeed a thing of beauty and imagination. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 7, 2014 Full Review David Denby New Yorker This handsome, beautifully designed Japanese animated film has the size -- though not the clarity -- of a great Japanese film epic. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Stephen Hunter Washington Post Miyazaki's hordes of animators haven't penetrated beyond the skin; the moving creatures feel inarticulate and jerky, almost weightless, particularly when played against painterly background mattes. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Ian Kane Epoch Times ...a refreshing take on the tired man versus nature genre, and it also sheds light on ancient Japanese folklore, religion, and history. Rated: 4/5 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek When you watch this film, you need to think: "Where are the Japanese wolves?" If you don't, you'll miss the full impact of Hayao Miyazaki's environmental theme. Japan isn't the land of Bambi or the Big Bad Wolf. Rated: 5/5 Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Princess Mononoke explores the gaping chasm between nature’s gentle acceptance of circumstance and humanity’s steadfast refusal to quietly accept death.

      Paula S Food is pretty marginal, but the movie was GREAT and service was really good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Allen We’re was the air conditioning Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/22 Full Review David Wasserman The kind of wonderful animation and creative storytelling that we've come to expect from the masters at Studio Ghibli! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/21 Full Review Thomas P The BEST "environmental awareness" type of movie I've ever seen. The animation and the design of everything is super creative and cool-looking and obviously the story is really good so I understand why people think it's classic-status. The wolves alone are enough reason to watch it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Auli K A great movie with very good animation. Highly recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Rich, beautifully animated, epic adventure. Only complaint is the English dub translation as well as the protagonist’ stance of being on the fence. However, the story, the lore, the sweeping visuals, haunting score and endless creativity, makes this amongst Hayao Miyazaki’s magnum opus. 4.5/5 stars. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
