- Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2025Verified PurchasePrincess Mononoke has always been on of favorite anime movies. Tackling complex issues that went over my head when I was younger but still entertained me to no end. The voice acting in both English and Japanese are fantastic in my opinion. The animation is beautiful and will be one that will always be remembered. For any anime collector this is a must.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2014Verified PurchaseOf all of Studio Ghibli's many award winning films produced by it's co-founder Hayao Miyazaki; none has ever achieved the critical acclaim that Princess Mononoke did and there is no doubt that it is and will forever remain his most monumental achievement. Not to mention that It is also considered without a doubt to be one of the ten best animated movies ever made! So it is nice to see this masterpiece released on a North American Blu-ray where it rightfully belongs!
So what makes this film so incredibly good? First and foremost is the stunning level of detail. Although made back in 1997; it's level of detail and animated movement is so great that only a handful of cell based animated films has ever approached it and ironically half of them like Spirited Away and Ponyo are also Studio Ghibli films! Then throw in a complex storyline two and a quarter hours long (and never boring) that's constantly weaving new elements (always stunning in their visual beauty) into the mix and that never adheres to simplistic western ideas of good and bad and you have an animated movie that bears as much resemblance to a Frozen or a Sleeping Beauty as a B movie does to The Ten Commandments or Lawrence of Arabia.
For example in a typical animated movie the so-called heroine (San who has been raised by the Wolf God Moro) would be all noble and kind. But in this real world of myth and legend, she's quite willing to kill the odd innocent wagon driver if that's what it takes to preserve her beloved forest! And as for Lady Eboshi who rules Iron Town and in a typical western storyline would be a greedy tyrant. In Mononoke while yes, she may be destroying the forest and is also intent on killing the Great Forest spirit. She's also taking in girls from all the neighbouring brothels to run her forges and making them the equals of the men. Plus sheltering and protecting Lepers who she uses to make her guns and weapons. It's that sort of adult quality in plot and detail we're talking here!
As for this new Blu-ray release, video wise it's definitely worth upgrading from the older Miramax DVD release. Good as the DVD was, the new Blu-ray is even better! This is definitely the way a movie of this quality should be seen. Audio wise it's not quite as important as the original soundtracks are from the late 90's and were already in a DD 5.1 format. The DVD's tracks being boosted up to DTS-HD 5.1 tracks in English, French and Japanese. I didn't really notice that much difference over the DVD's existing DD 5.1 audio which already was quite good.
As for the included DVD release; it's essentially identical to the earlier Miramax DVD release right down to the menus which is why they don't match with the BD's menus which are similar to the new Kiki's Delivery Service Blu-ray that also just came out. So if you don't have a Blu-ray player and only intend to watch the new DVD; there's no point in upgrading from the older Miramax release.
Finally a few extra points. On the back cover Disney lists the DVD English track as 2.0. But not to worry as it is the same 5.1 track as the older Miramax release. Also because switching audio tracks also switches screen credits; you can only change audio options from the main menu! And finally on a more important note, if you prefer watching this with the Japanese audio track; please note the following. The literal translation track of the older release has been replaced with a newer subtitle track on both the BD and DVD that's essentially identical to the closed captioning track just without the extra sound effects captioning. In other words, it appears to be dub titled. So if you preferred the older literal translation track; you might want to hold on to your older release!
Now despite the niggling over the subtitles; overall I can't praise this movie enough! It is and still remains one of the finest animated movies of all time. And if you have a screen big enough; the new Blu-ray should definitely be picked up if you want to see just how good a true animated movie can be! FIVE BIG STARS OUT OF FIVE !!!

- Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2024Verified PurchaseOriginally saw this movie years ago in the theatre and was blown away by just how amazing it was. The animation and storytelling presented in the film was amazing and the soundtrack just tied everything together so much more. When I saw this steelbook release I thought it may of been an anniversary rerelease of this great film, and since I did not have a copy of it decided to buy it and was not disappointed. This is one anime I highly recommend you buy, and if you can get the steelbook do so. It usually goes on sale in various locations for $20 and recommend getting it then since that is just a steal at that price.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2024Verified PurchaseThis is one of the best movies from one of the greatest directors of all time, animation or otherwise. I got the steelbook, which has pretty packaging, but the standard blu-ray edition from GKIDS is based on the same transfer, so either one is recommended. If you get this, don't buy the older, out of print Disney edition, as it doesn't have proper subtitles, glad that the best version of the film is the only one still in print.

- Reviewed in Canada on September 3, 2017Verified PurchasePaid a little more than I wanted to, but the look on my husbands face when I presented him with this very hard to find movie made it worth it!
- Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2024Verified PurchaseAs a huge Ghibli fan these steelbook cases look amazing on a shelf and are quite sturdy. They look fantastic all lined up together. Would recommend to any Ghibli fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars La mejor película de anime de la historia
Verified PurchaseMi película favorita de anime de la historia, opción obligada para quien tenga interés por este género aunque en realidad es recomendable para todo el mundo aunque no se tenga especial interés en el anime. Es una película muy completa: entretenida, profunda, inspiradora, bonita, dura a momentos y con una gran banda sonora.
Me llegó la edición española en perfecto estado tal y como se anuncia. Al principio me preocupé un poco al ver que me la enviaban desde Italia pero no hubo ningún problema. Compra muy recomendable

5.0 out of 5 stars Einer der besten Animationsfilme aller Zeiten
Verified PurchaseWer von sich aus sagt er könne mit Anime nichts anfangen oder generell glaubt Animationsfilme seien Kinderkram, der sollte seine Sichtweise doch mal überdenken und sich ernsthaft mit dem Medium auseinander setzen. Denn gerade im Anime-Bereich gibt es unzählige Juwele, die so kreativ, tiefsinnig und atemberaubend schön sind dass es nahezu verrückt ist dass diese stellenweise nur einem Nischenpublikum bekannt sind.
Ein eben solches, wenn auch zugegebenermaßen einem breiten Publikum bereits bekannten, Juwel stellt zweifelsohne Hayao Miyazaki’s „Mononoke Hime“ dar. Produziert vom legendären Studio Ghibli, stellt die Fabel der schönen Dämonenprinzessin San und des tapferen Prinzen Ashitaka einen DER Anime-Spielfilme schlechthin dar.
Story im Groben:
Der junge Stammesprinz Ashitaka wird bei der Rettung seines Dorfes vor einem rachsüchtigen Dämon von dessen Fluch getroffen. Mit der Gewissheit diesem zu erliegen, verlässt der mutige Ashitaka sein Dorf, mit der vagen Hoffnung sein Schicksal doch noch abwenden zu können. Auf seinen Reisen bemerkt er dass es um die Welt schlecht bestellt ist: Tod und Verderben greifen um sich. Die Gier und Kriegstreiberei der Menschen hat die Finsternis in die Ländereien einkehren lassen.
Sein Weg führt Ashitaka nach Westen, wo er in einen Konflikt zwischen den Arbeitern einer Eisenmiene und den mystischen Tiergöttern verwickelt wird. Die Leute aus der Eisenmiene, angeführt von der stolzen und starken Eboshi-Sama, zerstören durch die unablässige Rodung des Waldes, sowie dem Schürfen nach Mineralien den umliegenden Wald. Das provoziert wiederum den Zorn der Schutzgottheiten wodurch der Konflikt zu eskalieren droht. Ashitaka versucht verzweifelt den Krieg der beiden Fronten zu verhindern- was ihn zur geheimnisvollen Prinzessin Mononoke führt, einem Menschenmädchen, welches für den Wald und seine Bewohner in den Kampf ziehen will.
Meine Meinung:
Dieser Film ist ein unbestreitbarer Klassiker und Meisterwerk und definitiv einer DER Einstiegsfilme was das Medium Anime betrifft. Von den facettenreichen Figurenzeichnungen, der tiefgründigen Story, den fantastischen Animationen, der unermesslichen Detailverliebtheit von Figuren und Hintergründen, welche die Damen und Herren des Studio Ghibli noch ganz klassisch von Hand gezeichnet hatten bis hin zur meisterhaften Filmmusik des berühmten Joe Hisaishi ist dies ein durch und durch beeindruckender Animationsfilm, von welchem selbst Disney noch so allerhand lernen könnte. Es ist auch der mit Abstand erwachsenste Film des Studios, welches auch zuvor schon nie davor zurückschreckte ernste Themen zu behandeln ohne diese dabei zu beschönigen. Hier fließt nicht nur Blut, hier werden auch schon mal Gliedmaßen abgetrennt. Die Altersfreigabe ist daher durchaus berechtigt (wobei ich denke dass auch Kids ab 10 Jahren mit dem Streifen klar kommen).
Puristen wissen: der O-Ton ist überragend. Das soll aber nicht darüber hinwegtäuschen dass die deutsche Vertonung auch ihre Daseinsberechtigung hat. Dies dürfte so ziemliche eine der besten deutschen Synchros zu einem Anime überhaupt darstellen.
Fazit:
Dank Netflix sind die Ghibli-Filme momentan wieder in aller Munde. Das finde ich schön, eröffnet es doch die Möglichkeit das Anime einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich gemacht wird. Und nur so als Tipp am Rande: es gibt nicht nur die Ghibli-Filme. Neben Filmen von Satoshi Kon, Makoto Shinkai oder Mamoru Hosoda gibt es noch eine Vielzahl genialer Serien: Death Note, Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood- und das ist nur die Spitze des Eisbergs.
Was Mononoke Hime angeht, so bleibt nur zu sagen dass dieser zu Recht als einer der wegweisenden Klassiker schlechthin gehandhabt wird. Miyazaki setzte sich, und seinem Studio, hiermit ein Denkmal für die Ewigkeit. Kein magischer Disney-Feenstaub, davon heben sich die Ghibli-Filme bewusst ab. Dafür aber ambitioniert und geradezu monumental.
Gehört in jede gute Sammlung.
