Coincidental or not, Driver's accent is a somewhat jarring reminder that Princess Mononoke has been altered for American audiences. Similarly, Jada Pinkett-Smith's distinctive voice sounds a little strange emerging from a Japanese prostitute turned iron-worker, and Billy Bob Thornton, as an oddly violent monk is almost too bizarre for belief...
