I found it interesting in spite of the negative reviews, very much inspired by Princess Mononoke, with a non-trivial intertwining of themes.

Like joining a tour group in the middle, I don't know where this came from but I knew where it was headed. This animated Japanese feature full of myth and magic didn't hold any surprises for me, but I still enjoyed the ride.

_The Deer King_ is as visually gorgeous as any Studio Ghibli film. While its animation pleases on almost every level, its storytelling and pacing is lacking as the film seems to prioritize monotonous dialogue and petty human squabbling over anything remotely exciting.
