IS RATED PG-13 FOR IMAGES OF VIOLENCE AND GORE, THE FOLLOWING IMAGES MAY BE UNSUITABLE FOR YOUNGSTERS.

When released in 1997, Hayau Miyasaki’s epic 

was the second-longest running Japanese animated film and the most expensive Japanese film of all time. Its success led Studio Ghibli to continue making amazing animated films such as

(2001). It’s impossible to cover every magical scene, but here are 15 gifs of our favorite moments from the film:

1. Our first look at the creepy crawly demon boar thingy. Gross.

I think he’s kinda cute though. Look at him go!

2. The iconic scene: A****aka’s first glimpse of San. Precious.

3. Can’t have a Miyasaki film without cute / creepy spirit critters!

4. Let’s face it, Jigo is a jerk but we all fell in love with his shoes:

What is your favorite scene of Princess Mononoke? Let us know in the comments section below! Be sure to listen to our Princess Mononoke episode of the Animation Addicts podcast Friday, June 20!

I don’t have a favorite scene exactly (I love it all), but one of my favorite things about this film is the character development. His characters are so richly complex and deep. And the females are kick ass!

Haha, that retreating rider reminds me of the scene from Iron Man 3 where one of Mandarin’s henchmen puts his hands up and goes, “No, wait! I don’t even like the work!” and skeedadles. Love retreating henchmen!
