So far, never heard of a sequel. 
And it's Ghibli the company who did Mononoke... (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

As for contacting Studio Ghibli or Miyazaki, it's practically impossible. You can visit their website, or Nausicaa.net (an amazing fansite) to get the address, but they don't really answer because they're extremely busy. And plus, I don't really think they understand much English. ^_^;;

| Hard for a Second to come in first... |     |
You know...I agree with the fact that Mononoke Hime was extremely good...since the first time I ever saw it I have been in love with it and still am...it currently is and will most likely remain the absolute top on my list. As for contacing Ghibli or Miyazaki, just like Sammi said: good luck. But as for the sequel: A sequel would be nice but to leave it off as it is works as well. There are very few movies that the second can actually match in greatness to the first. Now yeah, they're Disney movies (that's besides the point) but movies such as The Lion King, Aladdin, and a few others, were good by themselves, but then Disney made sequels. These sequels made it look like Disney was trying too hard to get more movies out so they came up with sequels that in my opinion, bombed, and could never come close to matching the first. I was happy with the movie Balto (I don't know if it's Disney or not...) But when I saw Balto 2: Wolf quest, I was completely appaled at what they did with the sequel. My point is, a sequel to Mononoke Hime would be nice, but it would have to have a very very very deep and well-written plot/storyline...which is hard to come by for sequels.

If ghibli did sequels, they would be in a level as low as disney, who does nothing but create sequels yr after yr. I mean c'mon, whats wrong with thinking up of a new and original movie? Already some ghibli fans r complaining that once disney used to make sequels, now they're buying other companies' movies and selling them under their name.
Sorry, but seriously, as much as ppl WANT sequels, they simply destroy the magic of the original film.

| Sequels are fine, but they gotta be good. | |
I agree with you, and at the same time I don't. Yes, it is very hard to have a sequel that can be as good or very very close to as good as the original, but it has been done. Some movies are better off with, some are better off without. BUT, I am fine with Ghibli making sequels as long as they don't insult or degrade the first and they don't try too hard and make more and more sequels to cover up for sequels that bombed...that would make them no better than Disney. I used to respect Disney more...but nowadays they are focusing too hard on sequels and that has brought them down a notch on my respect-o-meter. I say Sequels are fine as long as they have just as powerful a storyline as the first...and no more than 1 sequel should be made unless very drastic measures come up.

As powerful as a storyline can be, its still juz a continuation of the first movie. Unless its a completely different story altogether (in which case it shouldnt count as a sequel in the first place), its usually nothing more than a repeat telecast of same-old-same-old.
Thats my opinion, anyway. Btw, does anyone here know if the movie Battle Royale (the live one, with real ppl and lotsa gore that they banned it in some countries) has a DVD or VCD out? I heard its good, even with all the gore. Call me sadistic, but its juz the way i am

Though I'm sure this has already been said by someone else, I think that a sequel to the Mononoke Hime would be a bad idea. What would you make it about? The underlying meaning of the first film was mostly summed up by the end of it, and making a sequel would just make it seem like Ghibli was looking for some way to make more money. If the storyline was finished by the end of the movie, why make another one?

Thats why many ppl agree that making a sequel qould put ghibli as low a level as Disney. Disney's idea of a success if how much money they make while ghibli's success is how satisfied their fans r. Since sequels r nothing more than a money-spinner, Miyazaki will NEVER make a sequel.
Of course, after Miyazaki, Suzuki and Takahata r gone, thats a different story. Juz like after Walt Disney left the company.

miyazaki said he'd never do a sequel for any of his movies. when he's done saying what he has to say in a movie that's it. he likes to challenge his team to tackle new things rather than making finished works better.
and as much as i love miyazaki's works. i hate it when he overworks himself when making his moves. the man draws 70% of his scenes! 70!
but besides that i cant wait for Howl's moving castle. its a such a good book. probably be a better movie.

Now that u've mentioned it, i have been thinking of getting that book if the libraries doesnt have it. Tho ill have to wait a while to do so, i had juz splurged Sing$57 on the mononoke soundtrack (bout US$35 i think), and i have my eye on hack//liminality soundtrack too, and that costs at least US$6.50 more than MH soundtrack.
Not to mention that im looking forward to Whale Rider novel too.

In the moon light, I felt your heart;
quiver like a bow string's bow.
In the moon's pail light, you looked at me;
Nobuddy knows your heart.
When the sun is down, I see you;
beautiful and haunting, but cold.
Like the blade of a knife, so sharp, so sweet;
No buddy knows your heart.
Born of your sarwor of greaf and pain;
locked away in the forest of the night.
Oh, sacred heart belongs to the world;
of the things that shy in the dark,
of the things that cry in the dark.
------------
May have a few spelling errors

no way will there be a sequal.
As much as we fans would probably like sequals, Mayazaki doesn't do them. I can only guess its because a movie is very delicate and the contents and feelings that Mayazaki brings to his films are so sensitive that they are likely to be spoiled by a sequal. Though, i have no objections to finding out what happens to San and Ashitaka, i think the movie is better left as an Incredible film rather than a memorable series.
Though, perhaps it would be interesting if he could do a movie vaguely connected to Princess Mononoke...... another period film would be interesting.....

I think the important thing, whether it be a book or a movie or whatever, is to leave the audience to determine themselves what happened next - if they want San and Ashitaka to live happily ever after, so be it, and if they want them to part ways and never see each other again, except in their dreams, then it is also their choice. It is too easy to ruin the magic of something by not leaving anything up to the audience's imagination.
Once the story is over it is up to you, the reader/viewer to determine what happens next. Although that doesn't necessarily mean you have to write fanfiction about it!
However, it is always amusing to see another film/story by the creator in which characters from a previous one feature in a cameo that *might* indicate somewhat what happened next.

And I see your point. It would kind of be an upset to the imagination. I'd like to think San and Ashitaka did live happily ever after. It would be cool to see what everyone else in the forum would say hapened. ^_^--Sio

They did, but not together. I remember a source saying that San continued to live her life in the forest while Ashitaka lived on in the Iron town since he cant go back, and remain that way. Maybe they might meet each other again once more or twice, but not as a couple. Ever.
Would be nice tho. LIke Eboshi said, she would make a fine wife for him.
