* BadExportForYou: In the US, Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo never released a UsefulNotes/BluRay of this movie, and instead only sold it on UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}, likely because of its relatively low profile compared to other Ghibli movies. After [=GKIDS=] acquired home video rights to most of the Studio Ghibli movies Disney still owned, they finally released it on Blu-ray in 2018.
* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget: ¥2 billion, box office: ¥1.56 billion. Making this one of the only Studio Ghibli films to bomb.

* CreatorKiller: The film was such a commercial failure that Creator/IsaoTakahata didn't direct another film for 14 years.

* ProductionForeshadowing: Nonoko's ImagineSpot of her birth evokes ''The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'', which Isao Takahata would later adapt into ''Anime/TheTaleOfThePrincessKaguya''.

* This is the first film by Studio Ghibli to be animated entirely digitally, with the studio having been stalwart with keeping cel animation their primary technique (alongside the rest of the Japanese animation industry, discounting franchise tie-ins and small-name projects) until ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' in 1997. The use of digital animation was primarily to more accurately transfer the manga's highly distinct art style more faithfully to an animated format, but because digital animation techniques became far more accessible to Japanese after ''Princess Mononoke''[[note]]major western studios like Creator/{{Disney}} were already using digital ink and paint since 1990, but as Japan entered a lengthy period of severe economic stagnation in 1991 punctuated by the bursting of their real estate asset bubble in 1992, their animation industry wouldn't be able to afford equally extensive use of computer animation techniques until the tail end of the decade[[/note]], Ghibli ended up making the shift to digital a permanent one. Of note is that most of Ghibli's later films would still use traditional pencil-on-paper sketches, with digital software mainly being used to provide linework and coloring, but never again would a Ghibli movie use actual hand-painted cels.
