Contemplating getting this since I don't know where my current copy wound up. Count me in as loving this movie; one of my top 5 the year it came out. It's like a fairy tale where the heroine is a deadly assassin. In fact there's an "evil stepmother," the hunter she sent to kill the girl (with his own accompanying theme song), light comic relief from "sidekicks" she meets along the way, music tightly choreographed to the action on screen, and a coming of age story when the girl needs to learn to adapt to a world she never knew.
