Aroview: A landmark animation that set box-office records in Japan and was a hit worldwide due to it’s stunningly smooth visuals, and complex, thematically mature story set in ancient Japan.

The tale of warrior Ashitaka and his involvement in a supreme battle between the forces of Lady Eboshi and nature-spirits led by the titular princess, may be underpinned by an enviromentalist subtext, but has kinetic action scenes set amid a wondrously detailed cosmos.

English audio-track features the voicework of Billy Bob Thornton, Gillian Anderson, Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Minnie Driver.
