I would go with the sub but do w/e floats your boat. Fucking Billy Bob Thorntons dub was absolutely fucking horrible and we all laughed our asses off. We were watching the subbed version but for one scene (when they were walking back to the Ironworks place) we switched it to the English dub. The script has come to be considered one of the best English adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s work -never mind what Ghibi execs were thinking back then.īet Ghibli regrets this almost two decades later. I remember when we were watching this on Demos stream. Princess Mononoke is a landmark film and, in my humble opinion, one of cinemas greatest. Finally, as mentioned above, there is also a DVD copy of the film. In the film, she is referred to only as ‘San’, which, in Japanese (and Chinese) means ‘three’. All of the extras from the 2000 DVD are include the making of featurette mostly covering the English dub cast and an American trailer. This confuses many people, and we’ll get to the meaning of ‘mononoke’ in a moment. That still doesn’t discount Gaiman’s fantastic work on the translation of Princess Mononoke, which wasn’t initially received after its 2000 debut but has since become one of the most beloved Ghibli films ever. 6 San (Mononoke) Means 'Three' As for the film’s female protagonist, never is she referred to, in the original Japanese or English dub, as ‘Princess Mononoke’. This is why, as Gaiman wrote in his tweet, he was thought of as “contractually expendable” and his name was left out to leave only the names of the Miramax executive board on that poster. The thing is, Studio Ghibli (whose demands for multinational releases are infamously strict) only wanted its own executives featured in Princess Mononoke advertising. Who would ever even think of erasing the imagination that brought us American Gods and The Sandman? Miramax, which was in charge of distributing the film in the U.S., first asked Quentin Tarantino to write the script, and it was Tarantino himself who recommended Gaiman - behold the proof below.
While this sounds like blasphemy, it’s all Hollywood. In 2009, 10 years after the Miramax release of Princess Mononoke in dubbed English, author Neil Gaiman was interviewed about a particularly interesting aspect. The execs looked at all the names, determined that theirs would remain, and realised that mine was contractually expendable.) - Neil Gaiman August 12, 2019 (Studio Ghibli asked for some of the Miramax execs to be removed from the poster and credits.
