I love how the film has no true villain. Just groups of people with good intentions who ultimately use conflict to bring about their goals. It's a great film with a well conveyed message against war.
Lady Eboshi does not have good intentions. She wants to clearcut the forest and massacre the people (gods) living there, and her motivation is just money and industry. She'll share that wealth with disenfranchised people, sure--but it's blood money, so so what?
@@Tamlinearthly she bought prostitutes and lepers, giving them a much better job. She cared for Iron Town and its people. Clearly if you didn't see San's point of view you would view Eboshi as a protagonist
@@Tamlinearthly she cares for her people, hence why she wants to eliminate the forest spirit so that the beast gods wouldn't be able to harm her citizens or innocent people. Did you even watch the movie? She's a protagonist for the human side and an antagonist for the forest's side.
A lot of fantasy stories have this theme. "I wish none of this had happened Gandalf." "So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."
I hate when movies like this end. You just become so immersed into the story and characters, you never want it to end. Apart of me wants a sequel or series, but amazing heartfelt stories like this one is best to be left alone.
First i thought it's too long like 2 hours long movie is too much but when i watched and when it ended i was like I WANT MORE this was too short😩i guess this happens with every good movie you watch you just can't see the end of the movie it's even more sad when there is no end credit scene
That’s exactly how I felt when I watched this at the Ghibli Fest last year. I fell so in love with this world and these characters. I wanted more, but I would be worried if it would be ruined. So I’m happy with how this movie is, a masterpiece.
I love how Miyazaki likes to show every side of things, and isn’t afraid to show their is no good or bad guy, it’s always a grey line. That’s the beauty of Miyazaki’s works in my opinion.
this movie portraits the essence of every wars. Everybody thinks that they are the good people, that they are fighting for the right cause. We are the outsider, we are ashitaka. We will never understand the point of these meaningless wars and question why can't things live in peace.
with all the studio ghibli films dude. It's like the more you watch, the more detail you discover and it is never ending. Just saw Spirited Away at AMC for Ghibli Fest and it was honestly so surreal. I have seen the film many times, and caught things that I never had before. I wish I could go see it again, but the event is only three days :(
Enna Silkov but it had tina fey i think and another a lister. but ive never seen that movie SPECIFICALLY for that reason that those shitty kids were voicing
You are another snob who can't stand it others have their own opinions and don't share yours. I guess it's hard for you and many to not be able to control what others feel and think. How pathetic. @@14reasons58
Princess Mononoke was the first 'mature' film I accidentally rented as a kid. I loved My Neighbor Totoro by Studio Ghibli and figured similar merriment would follow. Not knowing someone would get their head chopped off by a mystic arrow in the opening sequences pretty much ended my childhood. I remember hurriedly and tearfully running to the VCR to turn it off. Watching it from the eyes of a 30-year-old, it's absolutely fantastic cinema.
I saw this in the theater when it was first shown in the US. There were several parents with small children in the theater, and they were clearly stunned at the beheading scene, but I don't think any of them actually left. Not that I could see anyway. I have to imagine most of the movie would actually be pretty boring for kids.
If there was ever a film Miyazaki should have been nominated (before The Wind Rises was released) for the best director Oscar, this was it. Mononoke Hime should have been nominated for best foreign film, best director, best score, best screenplay, and I know it's a long shot, but best picture as well. Easily outclassed the typical Oscar bait nominated back then, and still to this day.
+Bryan G Honestly even though I love anime I don't rank the best anime I've seen alongside the best films I've seen, except Princess Mononoke which for me is the greatest film ever made.
Even though Studio Ghibli has a vast collection of masterpieces, I still consider this to be their magnum opus. The characters are absolutely incredible, the plot is amazing and unique and the music is captivating. A masterpiece
@@alexismartinez8343 That hatred and greed are moral diseases that bring about destruction and disharmony and only by curing them can we learn to live without internal or external conflict.
remember the first time I watched this film. I was around eight at the time. The movie freaked me out so much, I still remember how I felt while I was watching it. Nago, Okkoto, the lepers, the forest spirit, the kodama, those all particularly stuck with me, and frightened my eight-year-old mind. But, I didn't let those initial memories keep me away from the film. I watched it again, and again as I got older, and every time I watched it, I understood and appreciated it a bit more. It's now one of my all-time favourite movies. Princess Mononoke is a masterpiece.
I remember when my dad bought me this movie from a supermarket near by, and I became obsessed with it- I would watch it every single day. To this day Princess Mononoke has my heart and I remember watching it with everyone, especially my brother when he came back from the army. It's been over 10 years and I'm still in love with it just like I was when as a child :)
It's so incredibly rare to see an adult film at all, much less in animation. There's no villain, there's no hero, it's just conflict where both sides are justified. This is an amazing film. I wish more adult films like this were made. I'd consider Unforgiven to be one of them as well, although it's very different. In that, every character is flawed.
***** to me it's better this is my opinion, because i'm not a fan of "too much lame romance and drama" but i'm fan of "legendary characters and science-fiction animation, a whole new world different than the one we live in" just like spirited away!
***** I find Ghibli films to be superior in both art form and story. I mean, Disney has had some real classics, but look where they are now - Frozen just isn't on par with The tale of princess Kaguya imo.
Lawrence Carter I think he was saying that you cant compare them because of their different genre and style. Your opinion of a comparison is irrelevant if you cant even compare them
Watching this movie in my backyard surrounded by trees on a nice warm evening, listening to the birds talk back and forth. It doesn't get much better then this. Also I just realized if someone asked me what my favorite movie was, I would proudly say Princess Mononoke.
Even 10 years since I first saw it, Princess Mononoke is still my favorite movie of all time. Everything, from the story to the artwork to atmosphere and the message it conveys, is sublime.
So as a kid in the 90s I remember seeing a clip of wild boars on a mountain side and a big white boar. I could never pin point where I saw it or from what movie or show. Literally more than a decade goes by and still that one scene I remember. Maybe it was the fear of the sound it made when it roared, it stuck in my head for years. Then today I just happened to click something on Netflix and lo and behold it felt somewhat familiar. As soon as I saw the first boar I asked myself could it be? And I cannot believe that I found it. A memory I didn't know I had. I just had to let someone know. I enjoyed every moment of it and its now one of my favorites!
Idk why but I really enjoyed your story! It shows how compelling and special ghibli movies are. They convey atmosphere, meaning and mystery in every shot, seeping into peoples memories to never be forgot again. I am just surprised you've never heard of princess mononoke before netflix showed it, I always thought it was a quite popular movie, impossible not to see once in your life :P So happy though you got to find it now and liked it so much!
i watched it when i was 6, in 2008, didin't really know much about it till september 2019, when i saw a photo with Moro saying "the trees are crying" then i searched the comments and found it. I was so fucking happy
It’s so fascinating that 1997 was the year that both Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon made masterpieces with Princess Mononoke and Perfect Blue respectively.
This movie is amazing beyond words, even if your not a fan of Anime in general. All I can say is every adult should watch this movie, it is not a movie for a child to watch. It has a dark overall tone and dialogue that can only be appreciated by adults. Think of Fern Gully's twin older brother, who is into the dark side of the occult. The animation is flat out gorgeous throughout the movie and the voice acting is incredibly well done compared to a lot of other Anime works like Ninja Scrolls. Scenes like the first time you hear the forest ape spirits speaking, are among the most dark, yet mystical I have ever seen portrayed in a movie. This is a much watch for anyone who is a fan of cinema in general, it definitely leaves you with a feeling inside.
Years ago, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was out promoting 'The Wind Rises' on some late night show and she asked the host (not one of the really big ones) if he had heard of Mononoke. The jerk host snickered because he heard the word "Princess" and probably thought it was something silly and superficial like Disney. I know Miyazaki is known in the US, but I wish it was more so. I think Moana might be the first Disney female character who gets anywhere close to Miyasaki girls and women.
I used to watch this movie nearly every weekend when I was a kid, this is a masterpiece. just watched it yesterday again after nearly 10 years. still one of my all time favorites
I remember when I was little and in elementary school all my friends where talking about princesses and asking eachother who was their favorite princess was, "Oh I like Ariel", "I like Aurora", ect. When this girl asked *me* what my favorite princess was I simply said "Princess Mononoke", they all stared at me weirdly for the rest of the day 😂
The greatest anime movie of all times, greatest then all others masterpieces. The peak of Hiyao miazaki career. His greatest achievement. He may be a bad dad like his son Goro always stated, but he is the greatest story-teller and animator of all time. For Me, Mononoke - hime is the greatest of his achievements. Nothing comes close to it. Its the most perfect animated movie with layers upon layers of philosophy and Theology and story-craft that more million years human kind can't achieve that. Mononoke hime is like the perfect movie.
Are there any other 90's kids out there where this was their first introduction into anime? God this brings back memories. I was 4 when this came out and I still remember it to this day. Very impactful movie, highly recommend.
i just watched joe hisaishi's 25 years studio ghibli orchestra concert and i am a fan of princess mononoke's soundtracks like "ashitaka's tale" and "curse god" gosh i cant stop playing these two i have goosebumps all over
Just saw this movie for the first time back in March, while I’m not big into anime this one was excellent and well written and it even drove me to tears as well. It has a strong message on people trying to defend and protect the forest against someone killing off the forest and trying to take over completely.
Used to watch it all the time as a kid and it has always stuck with me. Rewatched it again at 31 years old and it still might be the best anime movie I've ever seen. The fight scenes although short are legit the best I've ever seen. And the story? Goddamn what a movie. "We can not change our fate but we can rise to meet it."
This was my first real anime when I was 6 and I think it is the reason I grew up hating interacting with people and preferred being around animals. Probably a good thing my sister thought it was a Disney princess movie
Such a good movie. I like that there isn't really much of an antagonist and that it's all a matter of perspective. Fun Fact: Did you guys know this was a Highest Grossing movie right before Titanic came out?
theworldsoutside.com/2020/02/01/my-desert-island-japanese-films/ Hey! I wrote an article about my favourite Japanese films. Needless to say, Princess Mononoke turns up in it. Check it out if you're interested.
You don't have to see this movie often, because then it loses most of its magic (I don't deny that everything, the magic stays in it forever), or epics. I've seen this movie in big gaps three times in my life. And that's enough for me. Everything in this film is epic: music, fights, characters, landscape, story ... I think the most apical film ever made. I would like to write a book that would be as amazing as a movie, but that's probably not possible. But I still believe. For about half a year now I have been serving Mononoke hime, Journey to the west, Legend of Ashitaka and Demon god. These instrumental songs were composed by the most wonderful composer: Joe Hisaishi. All his compositions are full of the highest epicism, cuteness, melancholy, courage, magic and much more. These songs always bring me hope in everything: in life, in writing books, beliefs in the good in the world ... Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke are the most apt films by Miyazaki, everyone has to admit that. Then more hilarious and cheerful films such as Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputa, The wind rises, Spirited away and others are other most legendary films that everyone should really see. Today, for the fourth time, I'll look at Princess Mononoke and enjoy it as much as I did when I first saw it.
I saw this last night at a movie theater in Tokyo. Currently in Japan, as of August 2020, some of Miyazaki films (“Nausicaa”, “Princess Mononoke”, ”Spirited away”) are on movie theaters nationwide. Surprisingly, these have been dominating the top three of the the box office ranking for several weeks. Decades ago, I saw them at the theater when they rolled out. But now after seeing all of them again this time, I felt that I have become able to understand them more deeply than I did when I was a child and student.
I'm 24 years late. I loved this. Why was it only a 2.5 hour movie?? I loved the Warrior.. voice was so calming, pure heart... I wish this could have been a show or series.. I would have loved to see how things went on..
This anime isn't an anime it s just magic. The ost is wonderfull and the story is perfect. The music of Mononoke Hime makes me cry each time that I heard. Arigato Miyazaki Sensei 🙏
@@carmarniah9360 Well, these god's would just be killed like they were in the film if they actually existed. The truth is none of us belong in this world. We are all apart of something bigger. The one true GOD cannot be killed, and neither can we. Our physical bodies may be destroyed, but our spirit will live on. Death is not the end, its just a new beginning.
I can understand you don't like Brazilian president. But that's a lie. The Amazon problem in South America, which evidence suggests it began in Bolivia, all of the sudden, when that was of public knowledge, everyone shutted their mouths about the fact the Amazons were burning. Again, it seems problems only count when their used to blame the one you want to blame. Stupid politicians talki about Climate change and Global warming, that's bullshit. It's a way much deeper issue to think that you can solve it with simple sustainability. I mean, you can see what are the politics that really are moving on and improving sustainability, and that's great, but that's not gonna make anything about Climate change. Capitalists and Libertarians are probably the type of society that are less destructive to the planet and are the best examples in the world about sustainability. Everyone else, they only talk and say nice things, but act very differently.
If you have never seen this absolutely beautiful work of art, I highly recommend it! The story, characters, art style, and the MUSIC oh man it just so~ good! Even if you aren't a big fan of anime you will love this movie I guarantee it.
The message of protecting the earth and the message of what war truly is; simply people doing what they think is right and doing anything they can to achieve their ends, is so powerful.
@@vimalsingh8627 just watched this for the first time. I’m 22 damn good movie I just clicked it on hbo cause the cover looked cool and I like anime lol
I'm a Japanese. Sorry for my bad English. We, Japanese, think that his movie does not depict the conflict between nature and humans. Japan is a country of animism. God is not one. It has been believed that God resides in all things. People have respected and feared mountains, trees, water, and animals. But, We lost that respect when we learned that human power could overcome it. And the Japanese, who lost their animism, began to invade nature. Shishigami's death means the death of humans respect for the nature. We killed our Gods. This movie depicts the comflict between human's evolution and mistakes. Or regret and hope.
Fun fact: The beginning scene with the first demon you see, starting when he busts out of the trees until... the scene ends. Maybe a minute in a half/ 2 minutes took them 2 years for them to draw.
I love how the film has no true villain. Just groups of people with good intentions who ultimately use conflict to bring about their goals. It's a great film with a well conveyed message against war.

This is a much watch for anyone who is a fan of cinema in general, it definitely leaves you with a feeling inside.
Years ago, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was out promoting 'The Wind Rises' on some late night show and she asked the host (not one of the really big ones) if he had heard of Mononoke. The jerk host snickered because he heard the word "Princess" and probably thought it was something silly and superficial like Disney. I know Miyazaki is known in the US, but I wish it was more so. I think Moana might be the first Disney female character who gets anywhere close to Miyasaki girls and women.
I think Mulan got very close, as well.

I'd say Judy Hopps, too.
I used to watch this movie nearly every weekend when I was a kid, this is a masterpiece.
just watched it yesterday again after nearly 10 years.
still one of my all time favorites
I'm crying. My childhood... This soundtrack is So good. True masterpiece.
I remember when I was little and in elementary school all my friends where talking about princesses and asking eachother who was their favorite princess was, "Oh I like Ariel", "I like Aurora", ect. When this girl asked *me* what my favorite princess was I simply said "Princess Mononoke", they all stared at me weirdly for the rest of the day 😂
Kiwi Toast should have shown them the movie 😂
Owsss?
Right, that definitely didn't happen .

Your comment earned a thumbs up.
i got chills the first time I witnessed this on toonami
This movie came out when I was around eight and now I’m in my thirties. What a masterpiece it still is to this day!
The greatest anime movie of all times, greatest then all others masterpieces. The peak of Hiyao miazaki career. His greatest achievement. He may be a bad dad like his son Goro always stated, but he is the greatest story-teller and animator of all time. For Me, Mononoke - hime is the greatest of his achievements. Nothing comes close to it. Its the most perfect animated movie with layers upon layers of philosophy and Theology and story-craft that more million years human kind can't achieve that. Mononoke hime is like the perfect movie.
True.
Whenever I hear the ‘Legend of Ashitaka’ I start to cry. Just a masterpiece of a movie.
Are there any other 90's kids out there where this was their first introduction into anime? God this brings back memories. I was 4 when this came out and I still remember it to this day. Very impactful movie, highly recommend.
i just watched joe hisaishi's 25 years studio ghibli orchestra concert and i am a fan of princess mononoke's soundtracks like "ashitaka's tale" and "curse god" gosh i cant stop playing these two i have goosebumps all over
It always makes me cry. What a masterpiece.
Still one of the best movies ever made.
Just saw this movie for the first time back in March, while I’m not big into anime this one was excellent and well written and it even drove me to tears as well. It has a strong message on people trying to defend and protect the forest against someone killing off the forest and trying to take over completely.
My favorite Miyazaki film which is saying something, and one of the greatest of all animated movies, what an incredible work of art!
This movie made me cry. I really hope that animals have a better life in the future.
This is my favourite Studio Ghibli film. I got to see it on the big screen on Monday. It was so amazing!
Used to watch it all the time as a kid and it has always stuck with me. Rewatched it again at 31 years old and it still might be the best anime movie I've ever seen. The fight scenes although short are legit the best I've ever seen.
And the story? Goddamn what a movie. "We can not change our fate but we can rise to meet it."
“What anime do you like”
“This.”
I watched this movie when I was 6 at a friends house, it was always in the back of my mind and I looked everywhere I finally found it
I’m now 17
This will always be my favorite movie.
watch spirited away
Toni Noni
I have 5 times if not more already my friend ;)
well Princess Mononoke is also my favorite film, Spirited away was just better animated
whose Minnie Driver though? i want to meet him/her! and hope that he/she is a midget that drives
Toni Noni after watching it several times, i just downloaded a 8 gig version :)
People destroy the nature 🌱
This was my first real anime when I was 6 and I think it is the reason I grew up hating interacting with people and preferred being around animals. Probably a good thing my sister thought it was a Disney princess movie
Just rewatched it again on Blu-Ray. A true masterpiece
Such a good movie. I like that there isn't really much of an antagonist and that it's all a matter of perspective.
Fun Fact: Did you guys know this was a Highest Grossing movie right before Titanic came out?

Hey! I wrote an article about my favourite Japanese films. Needless to say, Princess Mononoke turns up in it. Check it out if you're interested.
Amazing music, beautiful movie with incredible landscapes, and a wonderful story! This will always be my favorite Studio Ghibli film!
日本で予告見たことないけど、こんな壮大な感じなんだ…かっこよ
When I was like 7 I named all of my webkinz off of my favorite studio Ghibil charters even if I couldnt pronouce it
you must've been a cool kid
Lol A cool anime kid
My childhood in a nutshell lol I totally forgot about webkinz
OMG i did that too with my plushies
The best anime movie I ever watched in my entire life.
I think all the people here saw the movie when they were young and we are happy that we fond it again
I love this movie so dearly. Even watching the trailer made me tear up.
You don't have to see this movie often, because then it loses most of its magic (I don't deny that everything, the magic stays in it forever), or epics. I've seen this movie in big gaps three times in my life. And that's enough for me. Everything in this film is epic: music, fights, characters, landscape, story ... I think the most apical film ever made. I would like to write a book that would be as amazing as a movie, but that's probably not possible. But I still believe. For about half a year now I have been serving Mononoke hime, Journey to the west, Legend of Ashitaka and Demon god. These instrumental songs were composed by the most wonderful composer: Joe Hisaishi. All his compositions are full of the highest epicism, cuteness, melancholy, courage, magic and much more. These songs always bring me hope in everything: in life, in writing books, beliefs in the good in the world ... Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke are the most apt films by Miyazaki, everyone has to admit that. Then more hilarious and cheerful films such as Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputa, The wind rises, Spirited away and others are other most legendary films that everyone should really see.
Today, for the fourth time, I'll look at Princess Mononoke and enjoy it as much as I did when I first saw it.
this is the greatest anime film in my opinion. I wish Miyazaki would make more like this instead of all the coming of age films
I saw this last night at a movie theater in Tokyo.
Currently in Japan, as of August 2020, some of Miyazaki films (“Nausicaa”, “Princess Mononoke”, ”Spirited away”) are on movie theaters nationwide. Surprisingly, these have been dominating the top three of the the box office ranking for several weeks.
Decades ago, I saw them at the theater when they rolled out. But now after seeing all of them again this time, I felt that I have become able to understand them more deeply than I did when I was a child and student.
I saw this in theaters yesterday and it is still One of my favorite movies
Same, so glad they do ghibli fest
Absolutely I love it
Top ten movie of all time. An amazing masterpiece.
I'm 24 years late. I loved this. Why was it only a 2.5 hour movie?? I loved the Warrior.. voice was so calming, pure heart... I wish this could have been a show or series.. I would have loved to see how things went on..
This anime isn't an anime it s just magic. The ost is wonderfull and the story is perfect.
The music of Mononoke Hime makes me cry each time that I heard.
Arigato Miyazaki Sensei 🙏
When the forest is cleared this will be the richest land in th world - Brasilian capitalistic president on Amazon forest
Sad reality of today. If only these gods existed in real life. However, there's still hope=)
@@carmarniah9360 Well, these god's would just be killed like they were in the film if they actually existed. The truth is none of us belong in this world. We are all apart of something bigger. The one true GOD cannot be killed, and neither can we. Our physical bodies may be destroyed, but our spirit will live on. Death is not the end, its just a new beginning.
I can understand you don't like Brazilian president. But that's a lie. The Amazon problem in South America, which evidence suggests it began in Bolivia, all of the sudden, when that was of public knowledge, everyone shutted their mouths about the fact the Amazons were burning. Again, it seems problems only count when their used to blame the one you want to blame. Stupid politicians talki about Climate change and Global warming, that's bullshit. It's a way much deeper issue to think that you can solve it with simple sustainability. I mean, you can see what are the politics that really are moving on and improving sustainability, and that's great, but that's not gonna make anything about Climate change.
Capitalists and Libertarians are probably the type of society that are less destructive to the planet and are the best examples in the world about sustainability. Everyone else, they only talk and say nice things, but act very differently.
If you have never seen this absolutely beautiful work of art, I highly recommend it! The story, characters, art style, and the MUSIC oh man it just so~ good! Even if you aren't a big fan of anime you will love this movie I guarantee it.
The message of protecting the earth and the message of what war truly is; simply people doing what they think is right and doing anything they can to achieve their ends, is so powerful.
This movie blew my 10 year old mind.
Mom: Let's watch this movie!
Me: I don't want to see a movie about a Princess!!
*Watches* *It*
Me: HOLY SHIT
Ohh man, this brings up so many memories. I was 12 when I watched this for firs time.. EPIC ! (22 now)
u 25 now ...right
@@vimalsingh8627 just watched this for the first time. I’m 22 damn good movie I just clicked it on hbo cause the cover looked cool and I like anime lol
I'm a Japanese. Sorry for my bad English. We, Japanese, think that his movie does not depict the conflict between nature and humans. Japan is a country of animism. God is not one. It has been believed that God resides in all things. People have respected and feared mountains, trees, water, and animals. But, We lost that respect when we learned that human power could overcome it. And the Japanese, who lost their animism, began to invade nature. Shishigami's death means the death of humans respect for the nature. We killed our Gods. This movie depicts the comflict between human's evolution and mistakes. Or regret and hope.
Japan da god
we should strive for balance
When you realise these movies meant so much more than when you watched it as a kid.
N P exactly. I loved this movie when I was kid but watching it as an adult I can truly appreciate the message.
This isn't just an anime! Hayao Miyazaki is such a master.
Hayao Miyazaki movies were so scary but so good as a child
I really want a princess mononoke 2. I love this
Yaaaay, best Studio Ghibli film EVA
I'm a Japanese and really glad to be able to know many people all over the world love the Japanese culture. thanks you guys

Tied with Spirited Away, this is the best movie I have ever seen.
This is the best movie in ghibli movies I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To this day my favourite movie of all time. Never fails to make me feel intense feelings.
So glad I finally bought it. Anyone remember watching it during Miyazaki month on Toonami as a kid?
This movie made my childhood!
I was planning on watching this movie and now I found a trailer and hoooly shit..I'm gonna watch this right now!! :O
Minnie driver...I really choked on that one
Me too. Don't forget Billy Bob.
Samte Pal Midget Driver.
pffffffffffffffft!!!! you are 99% choked samte pal!
This was the first movie to make me cry just because of how beautiful it was.
I watched this movie last night. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to it time and again
Nostalgia. I was 10-11 years old when i saw this movie to the cinema. I still remember some scenes! lol!
It’s weird how much this reminds me of Zelda BOTW
IKR?
It's actually a fact that the art directors of botw were inspired by princess mononoke and wanted to emulate that art style.
This film was a giant inspiration for OOT.
I've watched this so many times and it gets more gorgeous and meaningful every time
Fun fact: The beginning scene with the first demon you see, starting when he busts out of the trees until... the scene ends. Maybe a minute in a half/ 2 minutes took them 2 years for them to draw.
I am not ashamed to admit, this one is my fav movie of all time. period.
