More Miyazaki Madness! PRINCESS MONONOKE Plays Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli

“Ugh, I smell like a human!”

PRINCESS MONONOKE plays this weekend (October 5^th and 6th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series. The midnight show this weekend is sponsored by Star Clipper, (St. Louis’ premier pop culture shop), who will provide trivia and prizes.

Hayao Miyazaki’s PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997) is  reportedly a delightful anime from the man who has come to define everything that is best about the genre, I’ve never seen it, but Miyazaki always brings in the crowds for the midnight shows so I’m sure it’s a worthy choice. PRINCESS MONONOKE was Miyazaki’s calling card to the world outside Japan. The English voice cast boasts Billy Crudup, Billy Bob Thornton, Minnie Driver, Claire Danes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Gillan Anderson and Keith David – a considerable volume of talent for an animation back in 1997 (TOY STORY was 1995), arguably marking the beginning of another trend – for big names to be heard and not seen. Essentially a statement on the ecological devastation brought on by human advancement, the story follows the battle between Princess Mononoke and a mining village.

Now you can experience some Miyazaki madness when  PRINCESS MONONOKE plays on the big screen this weekend (October 5^th and 6th) at the Tivoli as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.

The Tivoli’s located at 6350 Delmar Blvd., University City, MO. Admission is a mere $8!
