Wolfwalkers and Princess Mononoke: Review and Comparison

In this episode, Emma, Alannah and Colum discuss similarities and differences between Studio Ghibli's 'Princess Mononoke' and Cartoon Saloon's Oscar nominated animation 'Wolfwalkers'. With myth and magic featuring prominently in both, the critics consider the symbolism and morality of the films, how much these aspects are influenced by cultural background, and to what extent they are shared, bridging the distance between Japan and Ireland.
