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 \u003ci\u003eTitanic \u003c\/i\u003e(1997). \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e 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.

The collection investigates the production, and re-production, processes involved in the making of \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e into a global phenomenon and reevaluates the film's significance within a range of global markets, animation techniques, and cultures.\u003cbr\u003eIn revisiting this undeniably important film, the collection sheds light on the tensions within anime and the cultural and social issues that \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e explores, from environmental protection to globalization to the representation of marginalized groups. In this remarkable new collection, \u003ci\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/i\u003e is examined as a key player during a major turning point in Japanese animation history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRayna Denison \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in the School of Art, Media and American Studies at the University of East Anglia, UK, specializing in Japanese and Asian film and television cultures.
