A collaboration that resulted in a marvelous Blu ray package!
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019
Distributor Shout! Factory and GKIDS have partnered together to release a very special limited collector's edition of "Princess Mononoke" on Blu-ray.Summary: "Princess Mononoke" focuses on Ashitaka, a young warrior who is exiled from his village because of a deadly curse. In search for a cure, Ashitaka sets out on a journey, hoping to find any answers he can. During his travels, however, he stumbles upon a long standing fued between Lady Eboshi of Iron Town and Princess Mononoke of The Forest. Two different ideologies clashing for control. One fights for her people, while the other fights for the forest and it's inhabitants. Yet, both seeking to kill one another. Not wanting blood to be shed, Ashitaka takes it upon himself to search for a path in where both leaders can coexist. All the while still battling the curse within himself.Pros:• The collector's edition is a dream!• Includes a 40 page art book with behind the scenes/extras and special features for fans.• As someone who prefers watching anime in Japanese rather than the dub. I can gladly say that the dub version is up to standards. You will not be disappointed, the dub is great!• The picture quality of the Blu-ray looks phenomenal! Even though "Princess Mononoke" came out almost 20 years ago, it's still a marvel to gaze upon. Makes you miss the classic cel animation art style.Cons:• The slipcase is bigger than most Blu-rays. Meaning that it will not align properly to the rest of your collection. This will annoy those who enjoy a more uniform appearance.• The film can be a bit violent for children. There isn't nudity or any vulgar language but there is blood. So if you wish to show your kids maybe wait until they're a little older. Eight maybe nine years of age, but it's really up to you.A Side Note:• The soundtrack doesn't play on the PlayStation 4. So if that's your main media source then you're out of luck. This isn't a problem with the collector's edition but more so the PlayStation 4. Just something I felt needed to be said.Bottom line "Princess Mononoke" is a gorgeous, depth filled, spectacle. The characters are interesting and driven which makes for an exciting story. A must watch for both anime fans and the average movie audience. Hands down one of the best anime films created by Hayao Miyazaki. I highly recommend owning this film. (A personal favorite :D)

No, folks. Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton were not voice actors in the original release. Truth be told they were not really voice actors in the US release either. They just sat in a booth, emotionless, and read some lines off a script. Luckily, the Japanese soundtrack is included so you can hear it as it was originally presented with real voice actors.
The Blu-ray looks and sounds good. Good but not great. Not bad. G Kids did a decent job. But they replaced the Japanese credits with English. I hate it when they do that. Why do they have to do that? Oftentimes these days, the original credits are left intact and the English credits are presented afterwards. It's a much more respectful presentation and G Kids should have done it with all of their Ghibli releases. It's a nitpick but it really takes the wind out of the sails at the end of the film for me.
Overall, it's an OK release and it serves it's purpose in my collection. If a release more faithful to the original is released stateside, I'll probably get it to replace this copy.

I came late to the party for appreciating Miyazaki's brilliant films, and this was the one that got me hooked. Princess Mononoke is one of those rare films that allows the audience room to decide for themselves. In this review I could extol the amazing animation, fantastic voice acting from both the American and Japanese casts, or the captivating original story, but I'd like to keep things short and simple and praise the masterful handling of the themes.
Princess Mononoke tells the story of a man who ventures from a distant land to two warring nations in search of a cure for his demonic ailment. He admonished by the village elder before going forth with this message "You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two." The idea here is that a third party is going to offer an impartial perspective on a conflict between two others. What we discover from this perspective is a lot of grey. One of the conflicting parties is run by a matriarchy who runs a society that on the surface appears to be inclusive and progressive. Women are highly regarded for their ability to contribute to the stability and efficiency of the village while the men help in hunting and gathering resources. Even the disabled and social outcasts have a place of respect in this society as weapon makers. The issue lies in their disrespect and exploitation of nature and those who dwell in the forest. Miyazaki's deft ability as a storyteller though doesn't pigeonhole this movie in the long line of environmental preservation films. He puts forth the other sides valid points of how using nature has created jobs, societal progress, security and stability for the workers and their families. It is the great quandry that we still struggle with today. We need nature but we need progress. How do we balance our needs with the preservation of nature?
The brilliance here is Miyazaki doesn't force a viewpoint down the viewers throat. He understands that this is a complicated subject and that both sides have valid points for their ideas. Therefore the question is passed off to the viewer on how to establish harmony between the two sides without simply pushing for one over the other. The singular feature of Miyazaki's storytelling is that it respects the intelligence of the audience and doesn't take the position of preaching for any agenda. Ideas are seamlessly crafted into the narrative in such a way that it doesn't seem ham fisted or painfully obvious. Mixing social issues with a story without coming off as preachy or transparent is no easy task for even the greatest of filmmakers, but Miyazaki is an expert in a league of his own. You cant go wrong with Mononoke or any of his wonderful films. Pick it up.

北米版のブルーレイのレビューです
Reviewed in Japan on May 7, 2018Verified Purchase
内容については他の方にお任せし、これは商品についてのレビューです。購入したのは北米版のブルーレイとDVDがセットになった商品です。他のジブリの北米版同様に、ブルーレイは日本と同じリージョンコードなので、問題なくブルーレイ・プレイヤーで視聴できました。DVDを見るにはPCか、リージョン・フリーのプレイヤーが必要です。ただし他のジブリの北米版を購入して、この事は知っていましたし、ブルーレイだけでも国内版の半額以下でしたので、この点は評価に影響してません。
作品の解説と写真を掲載した8ページのカラーのリーフレットと、このメーカーが出しているジブリのブルーレイ・ディスクを掲載した2つ折のパンフレットが同梱されていました。
メニューのセットアップで、言語を日本語、字幕なしに設定すると、普通の国内版のように見れました。他の方のレビューにあるような、障害やトラブルはありませんでした。ケースがショボいとかDVDが国内用のプレイヤーでは見れないとかいう点はありますが、国内版は高すぎて手がでません。圧倒的なコストパフォーマンスの高さに対して、星5つをつけました。

Bootleg copy
Reviewed in Canada on October 30, 2020Verified Purchase
This is a counterfeit copy. I have been buying Ghibli films for years and this is a fraudulent copy. It didn’t come with a booklet as advised on the case. The BluRay copy is also not standard as you can see in the photo comparison with an authentic Ghibli film. It’s almost black/blue. When paying the actual price of a Ghibli film, you would expect an authentic one, not a forgery.

Excellent video transfer. Even the included 1999 interview with Miyazaki and his little Film tour around North America is in crystal clear HD!
A classic film that represents Japanese Film (Miyazaki doesn't like the word anime or TV Anime...so don't use those words!)
Includes a little booklet that has statements from the audio producer (2013) and Miyazaki (1995)

This movie is iconic--an award-winner & for a lot of good reasons. Billy-Bob Thornton, who did the English-language voice-over, commented that one gets so absorbed in the story-line ( & so invested in the several characters) that "...you forget it's animated...".
