Overall, Mononoke is the third most popular anime movie in Japan, next to Spirited Away (2001) and Howl's Moving Castle (2004), both by Miyazaki. Mononoke also became the highest-grossing movie in Japan until Titanic took over the spot several months later. Roger Ebert placed the movie sixth on his top ten movies of 1999. The film originated in 1980 as early image boards by Miyazaki. The theme song to Princess Mononoke (lyrics by Hayao Miyazaki / composed by Joe Hisaishi) featured countertenor Yoshikazu Mera, a decision considered controversial at the time, but has since become a classic. The advertising slogan used to promote the film is "Live." (生きろ。 Ikiro). Mononoke (物の怪) is not a name, but a general term in Japanese for a spirit or monster.
