Princess Mononoke

In ancient times, the land
lay covered in forests,

:00:35

where, from ages long past,
dwelt the spirits of the gods.

:00:42

Back then, man and beast
lived in harmony,

:00:46

but as time went by, most
of the great forests were destroyed.

:00:52

Those that remained were guarded
by gigantic beasts...

:00:56

who owed their allegiance
to the Great Forest Spirit,

:01:00

for those were the days
of gods and demons.

:01:44

Yakul! Come on, boy.

:01:48

- Girls!
- Ashitaka!

:01:50

There's something strange going on.
You have to hurry.

:01:53

The wise woman wants everybody back
to the village at once.

:01:55

- We just came from Ji-san.
- Did he see something?

:01:57

Yes, in the forest.
Something's wrong.

:01:59

- The birds have gone.
- The animals too.
