Love this movie. It was the first one to get me into Japanese Annimation and led me to Akira and many others. Thanks for reminding me of it.
It is a real fav of mine. If you have not seen Naussica, Valley of the Wind (I think I spelled that correctly), it is worth checking out. Similar theme to Mononoke. An early work by Miazaki. Beautifully done and a similar high-fantasy/high-tech (semi-Steampunk, you might say) setting.
you know, I have never seen Princess Mononoke. It has been on my list for awhile but I just never got around to watching it. I am not a huge Anime fan but I have heard really good things about this one so I've wanted to see it. I'll have to move it up the Netflix Queue and check it out.
Miyazaki is just barely anime. Also good are Nausicca: Valley of the Wind, and Spirited Away, though I have not seen one I don't like.
Both of those are on my Netflix Queue as well, just haven't gotten around to renting them yet.
