i also was surprised at this and don't exactly remember one, but i were to guess, its one of the scenes of Jigo (short squat guy in sandals) eating porridge and laughing too hard maybe?

It's at the introduction of Ashitaka, Eboshi, Toki, and Gonza at Iron Town. They used it to add levity to the situation, I guess? It was entirely pointless and stupid.

edit: Actually, it was from the scene with Eboshi, Gonza, and the women talking about the threat from the emperor around the 1:17:00 - 1:18:00 mark. Right before Ashitaka wakes up in the cave and talks with Moro. It's comedic effect to get the women to laugh at the supposedly-tough Gonza.

It's meant to be either a fart or someone blowing a raspberry, but none of the characters mouths are moving. I think it's clearly meant to be the former.

I just watched the English and the Japanese versions and only the English dub has it.

I need to watch this again. It's such a good movie.

    Oof

    I don't think I have the willpower to check it myself, I never ever saw it it in the US dub - and I don't think I want to. But thanks for the clarification.

    I recently just threw the whole of Art Of Mononoke Hime to my wallpaper folder, and it's a treat. May I indulge you for the same?
