Today I finished watching Princess Mononoke (1999,PG-13) (Screen It! Review). From Wikipedia:

Princess Mononoke...is a Japanese animated film by Hayao Miyazaki and was first released in Japan on July 12, 1997 and in the U.S. on October 29, 1999 in select cities and on November 26, 1999. It is a jidaigeki set in late Muromachi period of Japan, and centers on the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans who need its resources, as seen by the outsider Ashitaka. "Mononoke" is not a name but a description that might be rendered in this context as 'spirits', making the title of the film "Princess of the Spirits/Spirit Princess."

I have watched too much Japanimation, but what I've seen I've liked (and that includes this one). The first time you see an animated head go flying from a body is kind of strange. The conflict between humanity and nature was interesting too. I give it 4 out of 5.
