aww this looked so much funnier when I thought the flap over the face was a beak, the face was a malformed turket wattle, and the ear a mostly lidded eye. Looks like such a derpy bird that way, but nooo it has to be a human face!

That is the Forest Spirit from the movie Promcess Mononoke. Wonderful movie if you haven’t seen it! Watches more like a Disney movie than an anime.

Imo comparing it to a Disney movie is even a bit disrespectful to that masterpiece of animated cinema. I do get what you mean. But it just has so much more heart.

Oh daaamn, I didn’t know it was such a prestigious source. Probably explains the one downvote. lol
Definitely agreed with other commenter that in modern times, comparing things to Disney is more of a back handed complement.

Tangent: Who is the protagonist in that film?

Nobody. The film is about balance. Ashitaka spends the entire time trying to get better perspective and ask everyone to calm down.
San is stuck between worlds. Ashitaka is dragged into conflict.
Even Lady Eboshi is highly nuances, caring for people and defending her clan, but she comes to a different belief about naturein the end.
The only baddie in my eyes was the emissary to the daimyo (or Lord, can’t recall), and he was just serving his master.
