If this is anywhere near as good as Princess Mononoke was, I'll drive to Austin (from Ft. Worth) if I have to to see this. Its not showing anywhere in the area though ;(
Its very different from Princess Mononoke. A lot more surreal, and a little less heavy on plot. Its more on the level of Kiki's Delivery Service, or Laputa, in that kids would enjoy it as well as adults. Like Princess Mononoke, its very grounded in Japanese folk beliefs.
If you liked Mononoke, try Nausicaa. I think its coming out on DVD in the US soon. It was his first movie, and still one of his best. Its based on the only graphic novel he's drawn, which is also quite good.
