A beautifully gentle tale, but with a current of disciplined strength running through it in a very typically oriental idiom. Regretably, many westerners are likely to miss the real beauty of the story.

Isao Takahata's final film, and it's absolutely amazing. Another ghibli release from Madman that looks and sounds gorgeous. Highly recommended!
Studio Ghibli keeps showing its quality with another wonderful animated movie. The art used on this movie is quite interesting and unique!
The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya
Found inside a shining stalk of bamboo, a tiny girl grows into an exquisite young lady, raised by an old bamboo cutter and his wife. From the countryside to the grand capital city, she enthralls all who encounter her.
Based on the classic Japanese folktale, “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, “The Tale of The Princess Kayuga” is the culmination of decades of contemplation by director and Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata.
