WHISPER OF THE HEART (dubbed) In Tama New Town, Tokyo in 1994, intrigued by the mysterious bibliophile who reads the same books she does, 14-year-old daydreamer Shizuku has a life-changing encounter with a strange alley cat instead and promptly embarks on an exciting quest to find her purpose in life. After all, the world is a wondrous place filled with out-of-the-way antique shops, enthusiastic violin makers, and magical feline mentors. However, as talented Shizuku tries to juggle school and ambition, looking for inspiration and opportunity in unexpected places, will she ever find the courage to listen to her heart's gentle whisper? PRINCESS MONONOKE (dubbed) While protecting his village from rampaging boar-god/demon, a confident young warrior, Ashitaka, is stricken by a deadly curse. To save his life, he must journey to the forests of the west. Once there, he's embroiled in a fierce campaign that humans were waging on the forest. The ambitious Lady Eboshi and her loyal clan use their guns against the gods of the forest and a brave young woman, Princess Mononoke, who was raised by a wolf-god. Ashitaka sees the good in both sides and tries to stem the flood of blood. This is met by animosity by both sides as they each see him as supporting the enemy.
