Corrected entry: In the scene where Ashitaka first enters the clearing in the forest where the pool of the forest spirit is, he notices some odd animal tracks (we later learn these belong to the forest spirit). One of these tracks is in the mud under the water. How did the print get there if the forest spirit walks on top of the water (at least until it is shot in the head later in the film)?

Correction: The footprint could have been made in the ground and then later covered with rising water (this would explain why it is still intact as mud that is under water does not hold shapes as well), also, it is never revealed if the forest spirit ALWAYS walks on the water, and may be able to sink if it chose to (for a bath maybe?). Either way could happen.
