In this 1997 anime epic from director Hayao Miyazaki, Prince Ashitaka (voiced
by Billy Crudup) is infected with a lethal curse, and must travel to
find a cure. On his journey, he discovers himself caught in a battle
between a mining town and the animals of the surrounding forest. A girl
raised by wolves (Claire Danes) leads the animals, but the forest
harbors deadly supernatural powers. Reviews -- Critic Roger Ebert hailed the movie
one of 1999's 10 best films. In 2009, A.O. Scott of the NY Times claimed this movie deals with the issue of the destruction of the environment better than any other he has ever seen. See his video review here: www.artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com
