Princess Mononoke (Page 5)
Donguri Kyowakoku delivers one of the best lucky bags of the New Year, with a very unusual Totoro.
Movies like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and My Neighbour Totoro feature in the exclusive new collection.
Unexpected post-typhoon scene in Japan is so beautiful it looks like something from a movie.
Totoro, Kiki, and No Face are just some of the characters who’ve emerged from the moss-covered wall.
Higher pitched, celestial version of the iconic song soothes the heart and brings tears to eyes.
The ferocious wolf goddess is reduced to an adorable fluffy puppy, but we’re not complaining.
Characters and themes from Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Porco Rosso adorn these stylish jackets.
Surprisingly, the male stars of Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away don’t top the list, according to this survey.
Only two Japanese-made films have ever earned more, and one of them is about to get knocked down a slot by Makoto Shinkai’s runaway hit.
It’s the closest thing yet to stepping inside the animated world of Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.
TOONZ Studio Ghibli Version will be available as a free download starting Saturday March 26.

Tributes to world-famous Hayao Miyazaki have been pouring in from around the world this past year. They all show a deep appreciation for the great director and are maybe even trying to persuade him to work on another film, but since Miyazaki is currently planning his nature preserve off of Okinawa, we will have to tide ourselves over with more beautiful tributes to him. Today’s is a fantastic 8-bit pixel video that features the characters from all our Ghibli favorites.
Tesla Cosplay are an all-female group who describe themselves as “five girls from Oregon who decided to add a little ‘awesome’ to their lives”. And looking at these photos from their recent Princess Mononoke shoot on location, we think they’ve achieved that aim!
