Now watch closely, everyone. I'm going to show you how to kill a god. A god of life and death. The trick is not to fear him.

Synopsis

Inflicted with a deadly curse, a young warrior named Ashitaka sets out to the forests of the west in search of the cure that will save his life.  Once there, he becomes inextricably entangled in a bitter battle that matches Lady Eboshi and a proud clan of humans against the forest's animal gods.  The animal gods are led by the brave Princess Mononoke, a young woman raised by wolves.  Will Ashitaka be able to find a cure to his curse?  And what will happen between Man versus Nature?
