The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya [DVD] [2013] [2015]

Simply one of the best animated films I have ever seen. Takes liberties with the original story to stretch it out to feature-length, but they work well. Visually stunning to behold, and animated so lovingly. For once, the English dub *isn't* cringe-worthy, with a lot of famous actors putting noticeable effort into their roles. I still can't believe Big Hero 6 beat this out for best animated film at the Oscars.

I discovered Studio Ghibli because of this film. Beautifully hand drawn, magical. Since then have seen more Studio Ghibli films - honestly they knock the trite rubbish Disney puts out these days into a cocked hat. Wonderful tales with a message for adults and children alike, and no money grabbing expensive merchandise either!

Another great Ghibli film! This one is based on the tale of the bamboo cutter.A much more sketchy art style than you may be used to. Personally I love everything Ghibli, but watch the trailer online first if you're unsure. It's very different from Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service (which were all directed by Hayao Miyazaki - whereas Kaguya was directed by Isao Takahata, the director of Grave of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday), and although not my favourite Ghibli film it is still wonderful.

A masterpiece of cinema with a gorgeous art style, and a tale that is captivating and inspiring. The wonderful thing about Ghibli is the heart that's put in to every story that is told, each unique yet containing the familiar magic. If you love Studio Ghibli this film will become a favourite.The Collector Edition looks beatiful and came well packaged and in perfect condition, arriving on release from Amazon.

Fantastic story-line for those who like Japanese anime.

A beautiful story, beautifully presented. I felt the ending was a bit of a let-down though, but still worth watching.

...But should enjoy it all the same, to be sure!!!

Beautiful fairytale about a young girl sent down to earth, her happy childhood in the countryside and bleaker years after her father comes into money and moves to the city to turn her into a princess.The music as ever, is sublime.
