Superb Storytelling at its Best

Another masterpiece by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, this film tells the story of the primal clash between nature and humanity. Nearly every scene of this film was painfully drawn by hand (it is rumored to be the most expensive animated film ever to make), giving the animation a fresh and clean feel. Although it will be lost on some, the film portrays many intricacies of late feudal Japanese life. Hardcore anime fans will insist on the subtitled version of the film, but thanks to a star-studded English cast, the dubbed version captures the feel of the original almost flawlessly. Winner of dozens of awards, this film deserves its spot in animation history.
