Those blue wiggly things that appeared round his arm were so cool! Ashitaka was a much better character than San/Mononoke...it was sad when he left his village.

Does anyone else think he looks like Haku? And if you watch closely, one of the girls in the village at the beginning is a Chihiro double!

Has anyone else noticed that Mononokehime has a lot of similarities to an older Miyazaki film, Nausicaa? Both movies involve humans trying to kill creatures by destroying their forest with fire. You have the insects and the Forest Swamp in Nausicaa and you have the animal gods and the forest in Mononokehime. Both movies have a main character who tries to understand both sides of the battle and bring peace between the warring sides. You have Nausicaa in Nausicaa and Ashitaka in Mononokehime. Both movies involve a giant being that the humans try to control for their own purpose but is a threat to not only the creatures but the humans as well. You have the Giant Warrior (or whatever it was called) in Nausicaa and then you have the Great Forest Spirit in Mononokehime. There were other similarites I noticed too, like Eboshi was similar to that lady who ruled one of the countries in Nausicaa (I can't remember her name at the moment, but both of them even lost their arm, although you actually get to see Eboshi losing her arm), but I'm too lazy to remember all the similarities. ^^;;

I always thought that the giant warrior deserved more screen time.

He has friggin' laser beam breath. That's hardcore.

Chihiro is from Spirited Away....and in answer to another question, yes, Studio Ghibli produced both films, with the supervision of Miyazaki.

By the way, have u noticed this film is a PG, depsite all the blood, death and shot off arms/heads?

(And a blonde Haku? Ughh! Not how I wanted Howl to look at all!)

Cardcaptor Takato · « **Reply #34 on:** May 30 2005, 11:56 pm »

Which movie do you mean? Mononokehime? Mononokehime is rated PG13, at least in the U.S. it is, anyway. If you mean Nausicaa, I didn't think that movie was really all that violent at all and I thought the PG rating was approiate enough for it.

Princess Mononoke is PG over here in England

Am I the only one that wanted a series modeled after it? It was a great movie, it just left me wanting more.

Ruby Chan · « **Reply #38 on:** August 10 2005, 03:21 am »

I think they needed a sequel...like Spirited Away did. They left it off with so many questions.....I wanted to know what happened between Ashitaka and Mononoke....

Has anyone noticed that Miyazaki seems to like star-crossed lovers? Chihiro and Haku couldn't be together because they came from different worlds, and Ashitaka and Mononoke couldn't be together because of Ashitaka's loyalty to the other humans, and San's inability to live among them.

Cardcaptor Takato · « **Reply #39 on:** August 10 2005, 07:09 am »

I don't think Mononokehime needs a sequel. It ended fine on its own to me. Lots of anime leave unanswered questions because the Japanese like to have their audience leave the movie theaters confused. That's just the way Japanese movies are. And considering that Miyazaki-san himself said that he doesn't like sequels, I doubt that a sequel to any of his films would be very good....
