<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of original essays on Hayao Miyazaki's <i>Princess Mononoke</i>, exploring its production, aesthetics, themes, and cultural significance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Princess Mononoke</i> (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 <i>Titanic </i>(1997). <i>Princess Mononoke</i> 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 <i>Princess Mononoke</i>'s significance within and beyond Japanese culture. The collection investigates the production, and re-production, processes involved in the making of <i>Princess Mononoke</i> into a global phenomenon and reevaluates the film's significance within a range of global markets, animation techniques, and cultures.<br/>In revisiting this undeniably important film, the collection sheds light on the tensions within anime and the cultural and social issues that <i>Princess Mononoke</i> explores, from environmental protection to globalization to the representation of marginalized groups. In this remarkable new collection, <i>Princess Mononoke</i> is examined as a key player during a major turning point in Japanese animation history.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The essays in this book, brought together by a leading expert on the work of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, are a wide range of critical approaches to one of the most acclaimed, memorable, and visually striking animated films ever made. Both first-time viewers and long-time fans will appreciate these clear, elegant, and well-argued explorations of Princess Mononoke's themes, production history, and reception around the world.<br/>Mikhail Koulikov, Executive Producer, Anime and Manga Studies Projects, USA<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rayna Denison </b>is 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.
