I'm not really expecting this to lead to a change; I just wanted to put out there I don't think Princess Mononoke belongs on this list. It's described as being a 'feminist film on steroids'. The film mainly focuses on Ashitaka (the male lead) trying to bring peace between the village and nature. The female lead, San, though she was a strong fighter, mainly wanted to kill Lady Eboshi. She was portrayed as being in the wrong for that, and Ashitaka stopped her. San and Ashitaka 'saved the day' together, which I feel also makes it non-feminist. The essay also says that the miners were the villains of the movie. The point of the movie was that neither side was completely right or wrong, good or evil. A behind the scenes feature on the home video even says there is no black and white villain. {{unsigned|JustinRM}}

::Well, I wouldn't say that either. Ashitaka is shown to be a strong and virtuous man who wants to bring peace to two sides at war with each other. He's the one people are meant to root for over the main females, San and Eboshi. Eboshi also lost an arm because of her reckless leadership, which I feel is non-feminist. Also, the film has an anti-demon message to it. Ashitaka got injured protecting his village from a demonic creature, and then had to purge its effects from his body before it killed him.
