Hayao Miyazaki was, by all accounts, a genius and a trailblazer. Princess Mononoke is an animated masterpiece that forces its audience to question the relationships between humankind, nature and spirituality. Needless to say, this film is not our standard fare, and we couldn't be prouder to feature it in this episode. Meet Princess San, a woman raised with the wolves, who must grapple with her animalistic and humanistic contradictions. She is fierce, she is loyal, and she is, by all accounts, a badass. The star-studded American voice cast is the focus of Game Time, while the film's rich artistry, depth and portrayal of different kinds of female strength is the focus of our discussions. This is Princess Mononoke.
