Princess Mononoke [1997 film]

A boy cursed by a demon gets caught up in a war between humans and gods.

It's hard to say why I'm only giving it 3 stars. There isn't anything wrong with it that I can pin down. It's a very entertaining, extremely well-made movie. But for whatever reason, I just don't feel the need to single it out as "great." I would probably feel differently if I were more of an animation buff.

A fun mix of historical fiction and fantasy that explores the struggle between preserving nature, and industrialization/technology.
