I like Miyazaki's work, so Princess Mononoke has been on my
"to watch" list for a while. Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle
were better, but at least this wasn't as bad as Ponyo. The animation was good,
and it held my interest for the entire time. Maybe it's one of those movies
that's better for its iconicity than it is for watching for the first time. I
liked San's general look/outfit, but other than that there wasn't anything
really striking about it, visually or thematically.
