Princess Mononoke: From Studio Ghibli, the creators of Spirited Away, and Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki comes an “epic masterpiece that has dazzled audiences worldwide with breathing imagination, exhilarating battles, and deep humanity.” Ashitaka, a young prince of the exiled Emishi people, attempts to find a cure for the deadly curse he received while protecting his village from a demon. He seeks the aid of the spirit of the forest far to the West, bringing him into the conflict between Lady Eboshi of Iron Town and Princess Mononoke, a young girl raised by wolf gods. Ashitaka desires peace and offers to “see with eyes unclouded.”View the trailer here.
