Princess MononokeOk, we're gunna try a mental excercise here. Think Animal Farm. Now add "Babe". Add a touch of death and a damn cool headless uber-deer. There! Now you have Princess Mononoke! Princess Mononoke is a fantasy action flick. THe dubbed version is done damn well, featuring every famous person you know short of Kaptain Kangaroo. Very worth seeing.Princess Mononoke is the story of a boy named Ashitaka ("a shit taco"?). After being cursed by a. . . rabid pig, Ashitaka's only goal is to find truth and a reason. He is condemned to die and resigned to it. Like his rabid pig, Ash will eventually be covered by worms and melt away to goo. (At least its a cool curse.) Finally finding god, who turns out to be a simple deer who enjoys grazing grass and staring (I always thought so.), Ash is forsaken an uhcured. (Damn uber-deer.) After the god is killed, his guts try to exact their revenge. (Wow.) In the end, of course, Ash is saved, gets the girl, and goes home. Overall, a damn cool plot, great originality, and superb animation (especially in the closing scenes). Even the monkeys get an almost cannibal scene. On the Danny-scale, an easy 9 out of 10 grown men with worms. Damn Smooth. By Danny
