Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Emishi people, is cursed by a demonized boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure. Along the way, he encounters San, a young human woman fighting to protect the forest, and Lady Eboshi, who is trying to destroy it. Ashitaka must find a way to bring balance to this conflict.

Widely regarded as one of Studio Ghibli best films, Princess Mononoke is complex ecological epic that avoids simple "good vs. evil" tropes, instead offering a visceral, beautifully animated meditation on the painful and necessary conflict between human progress and the preservation of the natural world.
