MONONOKE' DRAWS ON RICH IMAGES, ADULT THEMES
1999
Overview
The Japanese box-office smash Princess Mononoke is being distributed in North America by Disney subsidiary Miramax Films, but it's no Mickey Mouse cartoon. The engrossing, beautifully animated epic runs more than two hours, as opposed to the typical 80- to 90-minute length of Hollywood animated features. Set in ancient Japan, the film's violent battle sequences include scenes of decapitation and lopped-off limbs. We meet the title character, a fierce young girl who wears an animal-fang necklace, as she sucks poisoned blood from the wolf-god beast that raised her. Princess Mononoke made a record $150 million in Japan, topping E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial as the country's highest-grossing film before being surpassed by Titanic. Based loosely on Japanese folklore, the film is a sophisticated environmental fable about the struggle between man and nature.
