Princess Mononoke.
It's been around for a while in Japan...I saw the english version, with the voices of Gillian Anderson, Billy Bob Thornton, Jada Pinkett Smith, Minnie Driver, Claire Danes, and a WHOLE lot more people that usually voice videogames/cartoons...
This film was fucking cool. I enjoyed it WAY more than "spirited away" which was the last film by the same people...I don't REALLY agree with the hype calling it the Star Wars for today, but there WERE certain similar elements.
Good, solid characters none of them "pointless" as are many in such animated films.
Awesome soundtrack, really spectacular background and geographical art, and a storyline that's strange, but very easy to follow. Some great action sequences, crazy-ass giant animals/gods/demons running around.
Overall, one of the best animated films I've seen in ages.
