The Tale of Princess Kaguya


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Jordan, Amberly

Studio Ghibli's latest (and hopefully not their last) is a version of a traditional folk tale, beautifully animated in a rough watercolour style. It's very beautiful animation and features some really stunning sequences visually.

The story is sweet and tinged with sadness. I don't know the original tale but it feels like they've padded it out with some extra emotional baggage, I could be wrong though. But it's a great film, And though it's Ghibli's longest I didn't really notice the time.
