The legendary anime Princess Mononoke is reaching its 20th anniversary next year and movie theaters around the country, including at least one in the RVA area, are celebrating with a limited theatrical run.

The movie, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, pits man against gods in a fictional world where both plague the land. It’s a powerful story with some incredible English voice acting. It also might be all the more relevant in Trump’s America

Check out the trailer below:

Your chance to see this amazing flick happens January 5th at 7PM at Westchester Common 16 in Midlothian, VA.

You can snag tickets here!
