That sounds like an amazing panel! Discussing the historical references in Princess Mononoke would be a fascinating topic, as the film is rich with cultural and historical elements from Japan.

If you're looking for input, you might want to consider focusing on the following areas:
Historical Period: The film is set during the Muromachi period (1336–1573). Exploring how the film reflects the social, political, and environmental aspects of this era could be a great discussion point.

Cultural References: Many of the characters and creatures in Princess Mononoke are inspired by Japanese folklore, Shinto beliefs, and historical figures. You could delve into how these influences are woven into the narrative.

Environmental Themes: The conflict between industrialization and nature in the film mirrors historical struggles during Japan's transition from a more traditional society to one embracing modernization.

Character Analysis: You might also analyze the historical basis for characters like Lady Eboshi, Ashitaka, and the various spirits, and how they represent different aspects of Japanese history and culture.

Art and Architecture: Discussing the historical accuracy and inspiration behind the art, architecture, and costumes in the film could also provide an interesting visual element to your panel.

If you want to chat further about the concept or need more ideas, feel free to reach out!
