* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Among Japanese fans, a popular rumor exists purporting that a supposed alternate ending to the film was once broadcast during one of the film's annual airings on Japanese TV. This rumor started from a number of low-quality screenshots posted online in 2007, all of which contained shots not seen in the final film and some of which include credits superimposed onto them. While Ghibli themselves debunked the claim that an alternate ending exists, a number of fans are still trying to prove that it does by hunting down TV airings without any publicly available home recordings, with one even offering ¥50,000 to anyone who can find footage of the alleged alternate ending alone and ¥70,000 to anyone who can find a full recording of a broadcast containing the ending, with commercial breaks intact.

** A close inspection of the "leaked" screenshots reveal they do, in fact, show scenes from the film (specifically during its final act), and the assumption that they are from a "lost" ending comes from the presence of the text onscreen. If the screenshots are genuine, they are most likely from a television broadcast that moved the end credits to earlier in the film.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Early posters for the film included the Creator/{{Daiei}} (of ''Film/{{Rashomon}}'' and ''Film/{{Gamera}}'' fame) logo, as Tokuma Shoten owned both Daiei and Creator/StudioGhibli at the time, indicating the film was supposed to have been distributed by the struggling Daiei. The film would eventually be distributed by Creator/{{Toei}}, which also distributed Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's previous film ''Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind''.
