Synopsis:
From the director Hayao Miyazaki, the creator of SPIRITED AWAY and PONYO, comes the masterpiece PRINCESS MONONOKE now available for the first time on Blu-ray in stunning high-definition. The first of Miyazaki’s films to gain mainstream attention in the West, PRINCESS MONONOKE depicts the clash between the natural world and it’s old gods, and the rise of humans and the beginnings of modern civilisation. It shows three elements of the Japanese psyche warring for supremacy in an epic ecological fable of stirring mythic power. Featuring an English-language script by Neil Gaiman, author of Anansi Boys and American Gods, and vocal performances from Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Billy Crudup and Gillian Anderson, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a must-see, epic animated adventure.

A warrior travels to the Far East to seek help from the Great Forest Spirit for a cure to a deadly curse he is under. Upon arriving, he gets caught up in a battle, fighting for the cause of the animal spirits defending their home from an exploitative iron-mining town. The prince befriends the forest creatures' leader, Princess Mononoke, a human girl raised by wolves...
