What's left behind the scenes
- To express his disagreement with attempts to cut the American release of the film, Hayao Miyazaki sent Disney a bloodstained sword with the words "do not cut" written on it.
- The names of the wolf goddess Moro’s other two children are not mentioned. However, the name San means “Three,” which suggests that the names of the wolves may be “Ichi” and “Ni” – “One” and “Two.” “Mononoke” can be translated as “vengeful spirit.”
- Lady Eboshi’s cloak is a garment worn by men, not a kimono; the cloak demonstrates Lady Eboshi’s rank and importance.
- Hayao Miyazaki preferred Japanese film and stage actors over professional voice actors (seiyuu) to avoid “stereotypical portrayals.”
- In May 1995, Hayao Miyazaki and animator Masashi Ando, along with a team of artists and digital animators, traveled to the ancient forests of Yakushima Island, located 60 km south of Kyushu Island, and then to the Shirakami Mountains in northern Honshu for inspiration in creating landscapes, as was the case with the film 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'.
- Production of the animated film began in July 1995. Miyazaki personally supervised each of the 144,000 frames in the film, and edited approximately 80,000 of them himself. Work on the film was finally completed just a few months before its Japanese premiere date.
- The film was largely drawn by hand, but includes some moments using computer animation (a total of five minutes of footage). Another 10 minutes is taken up by digital painting, which was used in all subsequent films by Studio Ghibli.
- Two titles for the film were initially proposed. One of them, which was eventually chosen, and the other was 'The Legend of Ashitaka'.
- Roger Ebert placed 'Princess Mononoke' sixth on his list of the ten best films of 1999.
- Cutting one's hair in feudal Japan signified that the person was dead, so by cutting off his topknot, Ashitaka showed that he was dead to the people of his village and that he would never return.
- The girl in Ashitaka's village was not his sister. Calling him 'Older Brother' was a sign of respect.
- The samurai who attacked Ashitaka mistook him for a high-ranking warrior because only they were allowed to wear helmets, and Ashitaka's hood resembled a helmet.
- In fact, Moro has two tails. This can be seen in the moment the wolf attacks the caravan (two tails are clearly visible), and then when San strokes Moro's flank before jumping onto another wolf and saying, 'Run.'
