3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Princess Mononoke’:

  1. Is this not practically the same storyline as Avatar? I wouldn’t be surprised if Cameron found inspiration here.

  2. The little tree spirit Kodamas were kinda eerie but super cute. And the fact that they had buttcheeks inspired a chuckle or two.

  3. I dunno, y’all… I know this is beloved… I am understandably in the minority here… I can respect the art, the symbolism and the message… but this type of storytelling is just not my cup of tea. It just all feels a bit convoluted, there’s soooo much going on, characters are not fully fleshed out. And it’s all simply too fantastical for me to become invested enough to care.
