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.
