Nearly three decades after its release, Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke remains a monumental pillar of animated cinema. It is a brutal, beautiful, and spiritually complex epic that bridges the gap between children’s animation and adult political drama. For English-speaking audiences, the English dubbed version holds a special place in film history, featuring a script by Neil Gaiman and a voice cast led by Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, and Gillian Anderson.
