Princess Mononoke もののけ姫 Review | Erika Szabo
Welcome back! Today I’m continuing my Hayao Miyazaki spotlight series with my favourite film of his: Princess Mononoke. This is an incredible film I am so happy to be talking about with you today.
I hope you enjoy my thoughts and observations! Please let me know what you think of this one as well!
Stay tuned next week for another work by Miyazaki!

Hey Erika! You should do a review of Akira (one of the most amazing movies i’ve ever seen). Love ur vids!
March 20, 2019 @ 7:23 pm
Just behind Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke is my second favorite Ghibli film. Also this was a big moment for anime as it hit more mainstream culture than it had previously due to wide theatrical release, though I could be incorrect on this statement. I’ve never really heard many people talk about how similar this is to Nausicaa.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:26 pm
Bought it but haven’t watched it yet! Awesome video 😉 Just subscribed :*
March 20, 2019 @ 7:27 pm

March 20, 2019 @ 7:34 pm
Hey are you going to review any of Studio Ghibli’s more recent films you know From Up on Poppy Hill, The Tale of Princess Kaguya and the like.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:35 pm
miss your videos hope you get back to doing them soon
March 20, 2019 @ 7:35 pm
princess monoke is one of my favorite anime films of all time along with Akira and Sword Of The Stranger
March 20, 2019 @ 7:37 pm
The violence in this film was one of my favorite parts. It was styalized, but it wasn’t what the characters focused on as the most important thing about some of the people in this movie. They may have been a brave warrior, but the warrior supported being brave and just added to the traits as if it were any other thing. Most movies nowadays focus on the unbeatable character in combat while this one was more about the leader or the brave soul that was adept at fighting. One of my favorite character pieces that explored characters as they were without the need of a huge 180 swing in their character development like some Disney and pixar films these days.

Did she leave Youtube?
March 20, 2019 @ 7:40 pm
This was my first film of Hayao Miyazaki’s that I’ve seen, and it left me speechless with it’s beautiful animation, story, and characters. I remember my Dad came over to my room to see what I was watching. Then he sat down, and started watching it with me. : ) Hayao Miyazaki’s movies really do have something that appeal to all ages.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:41 pm
Yes this movie was deep and mature while at the same time entertaining and up lifting. I grew up in a different era when Walt Disney animations were king. And rightly so because Disney put out great stuff. But Princes Mononoke is a cut above even Disney’s best. The more I think about it the safer it seems to say Princess Mononoke is the best animated movie yet made.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:42 pm
For some reason, I didn’t get too much into this film, even though I love the few other studio ghibli films I’ve seen. I just kind of found it boring and uneventful, though I did get the themes of industrialisation and nature to some extent. As always with Studio Ghibli, I loved the art. I only saw it once years ago, so I may watch it again sometime.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:42 pm
I have Mononoke Hime on LD (laser disc), but never got to play it, simply because I don’t have an LD player. I guess it wasn’t a good idea asking a friend to bring me that from Japan at all :-/
But I’ve managed to watch it on TV, a few years later 😀
March 20, 2019 @ 7:43 pm
i can tell the different years by the your hair.
totes adorbz!
March 20, 2019 @ 7:44 pm
Erika, where are you? The world sucks without you
March 20, 2019 @ 7:46 pm
This is definitely my favorite Ghibli film! Probably extremely high on my list of favorite anime movies in general (though I can’t pick out a hard number at the moment). Wish I could have watched it on theatres way back when, but VHS sufficed and boy did I wear out that tape.
Also you gotta love Haiyo’s trash-talking of modern anime culture, haha.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:50 pm
I was lucky enough to see this movie in the theater in DC. This movie absolutely blew my mind!
March 20, 2019 @ 7:51 pm

Hello, are you no longer making videos ? You do a great job and I hope you start putting up reviews again soon. Take care.
March 20, 2019 @ 7:56 pm
I LOVE Studio Ghibli their movies are so beautiful I really hope they come back one day the world is a slightly darker place without them.

March 20, 2019 @ 8:03 pm
Great video, I agree, Princess Mononoke is the best Miyazaki film, though i haven;t seen them all of course. I watched this first time when i was living in Japan but it’s one i always go back to, because it really delves into a very believable Japanese mythology. It was also the first Miyazaki movie i could actually enjoy watching with English dub rather than with Japanese subs. They did a really good job of the English dub, Minnie Driver did Lady Eboshi so well…
March 20, 2019 @ 8:03 pm
You have a beautiful voice.
March 20, 2019 @ 8:03 pm
Classic film
March 20, 2019 @ 8:06 pm
Miyazaki has only made one good film, Kiki’s delivery service. It’s the only film he’s created that didn’t come off as if it was written by a child. He’s one of the most boring directors of Japanse animation. His animation quality just doesn’t make up for his terribly boring and uninteresting writing and characters, not to mention Mononoke is by far the least appealing to the eye of any of his films.
March 20, 2019 @ 8:07 pm
Excellent choice! I can see why you hold it so dearly. The moral appealed to me too… about the dangers of modernization/industrialization against nature. But also that "some" advances are beneficial, and necessary, if not taken too far. And that resentment (hate) on both sides will only lead to further suffering. It’s an issue that hits me deep inside as well.
