Part 11 of my January Fanart project Ghibli series.

Finally the last piece of the Ghibli series.

Princess Mononoke is not only my favorite Studio Ghibli movie, but probably my favorite movie in general. I even once wrote a rather lengthy essay about it in school.
I love all the ambiguous characters. This movie taught me so much about how nobody is evil, or good for that matter, it just depends what your own interests and priorities are. The conflict between the people of the city and the spirits in the woods are portrayed so well, that you can understand both points of view and see that the only real solution in the end is compromise.
The same goes for the portrayal of the coexistence of life and death.
Princess Mononoke is also the first Ghibli movie I ever watched. I remember I was about 8 or 9 and my best friend had it on vhs tape. I didn't understand the movie really, back then, but I was so fascinated. It was one of my main inspirations to start drawing and painting, and I'm still thankful for that.
I'm also always impressed by the fluidity of the animation.
In my opinion it's just one of the most genius movies out there.
