Princess Mononoke (1997) is one of anime's most important films.
Hayao Miyazaki's epic fantasy broke domestic box office records
when it came out in Japan, keeping pace with the success of
Hollywood films like Titanic (1997). Princess Mononoke was also the
first of Studio Ghibli's films to be distributed outside Japan as
part of a new deal with Disney subsidiary Buena Vista
International. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the release
of the film, Rayna Denison curates this new collection to
critically reflect on Princess Mononoke's significance within and
beyond Japanese culture. The collection investigates the
production, and re-production, processes involved in the making of
Princess Mononoke into a global phenomenon and reevaluates the
film's significance within a range of global markets, animation
techniques, and cultures. In revisiting this undeniably important
film, the collection sheds light on the tensions within anime and
the cultural and social issues that Princess Mononoke explores,
from environmental protection to globalization to the
representation of marginalized groups. In this remarkable new
collection, Princess Mononoke is examined as a key player during a
major turning point in Japanese animation history.
