Clashing with an archdemon boar, warrior Ashitaka is stricken with an empowering yet ultimately fatal curse and, journeying into the unknown of the Great Forest in search of a cure, meets the fierce titular warrior woman, raised by wolf-gods. Miyazaki’s gorgeously animated, mythic tale about a battle between humans and ancient forest spirits is an epic with an environmental message, justly a phenomenon in Japan upon its initial release, and since beloved around the world.
