The Tale of Princess Kaguya is based on the classic Japanese fairy tale "Tale of the Bamboo Cutter". Chances are you don't live in Japan and don't know this tale. Luckily the movie is told in a way that requires absolutely no previous knowledge so even people who don't know much about Japanese culture and folklore can enjoy this (in fact very Japanese) story. Though the original fairy tale was certainly intended for children, I'm not sure many children would enjoy this kind of movie in this age, so it's probably more of a pleasure for mature viewers who know what kind of story and storytelling to expect. Art & Animation ? 10 The first thing you will notice about this work is its unusual artstyle. You can clearly see Isao Takahata here, but at the same time the sketchy style is something you will rarely find in animated works. It's more like a moving artwork. Ghibli movies are usually very expensive and very well animated, and this one is no exception (in fact it was the most expensive and most delayed work of the studio, and predicted to be unprofitable due to its high cost and low mainstream appeal from the beginning). Even if you are not a fan of the artstyle, some moments are undeniably breathtaking such as the Kaguya running scenes. The animation is definitely a pleasure for the eyes: Unique, positively artsy, very fairy-taleish, very Japanese and certainly beautiful. Sound ? 9 The music was composed by Joe Hisaishi who usually only does the score for Hayao Miyazaki's movies. His orchestral style suits the atmosphere of the story very well. I particularly noticed the music in the first and the last part of the movie. It's also nice to see so many traditional Japanese elements in this score. Kaguya, for instance, plays the koto (a Japanese pluck instrument), but the traditional music is not limited to actual in-movie music. All in all Hisaishi did what he always does: He delivered a great score with some memorable tracks. The calm and beautiful ending song leaves you with a nice aftertaste after the end of the movie. The voice acting is also quite well done. There are many old people and children in this movie, and I was particularly happy that those children were actually voiced by real children. Thus conversations and laughter sound very natural. Kaguya's voice is very pleasant to hear, and her voice actress delivered a vivid performance, most notable in Kaguya's energetic moments. Story & Characters ? 7 It is very hard to properly rate the story and the characters. Since the movie is based on a fairy tale, the story itself is fairly simple, and so are the characters. It is very easy to follow the events and naturally there are not many surprises or innovations. There is, however, lots of charme found in this kind of presentation. Isao Takahata was always very skilled in portaying the interactions between humans and daily human emotions and actions. You can witness all of this here as well. Though the characters are generally not very developed, it is easy to understand Kaguya's feelings and her colorful personality makes her memorable. The other characters act mostly according to her roles: The caring mother who understands Kaguya's feelings, the charing father who does everything to make Kaguya happy, not understanding what actually makes her happy. The children that act as her friends and family. The five nobleman ? some not so noble ? who woo her and fail. All of those characters are pretty stereotypical, but they do their job well and never wanted to do more. The story unfolds in a more or less predictable way, except for the end which might be a surprise, especially if you are more familiar with western folklore. The beginning was very executeddone: Kaguya's rapid development was portayed beautifully, as was her personality. In the second part of the movie the pacing is a bit slower ? not much happens, actually ?, but it gets better again toward the ending. Value ? 9 "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" is a very famous Japanese fairy tale, and this movie is unique in many ways: It is most likely the most elaborate and expensive adaption of a Japanese fairy tale we have seen in animation movies so far. The artstyle deserves lots of praise and definitely makes the whole experience memorable. The storytelling itself, though there's basically no narration, captures the atmosphere of a classic fairy tale very well. Furthermore Isao Takahata is definitely an interesting director and this is his last work, so fans of his other movies should definitely watch The Tale of Princess Kaguya. Fairy tale adaptions used to be very common in the early age of animated movies, but lately Japan has produced few such works. This might be one of the last attempts to bring a classic tale to the big screens without modernizing it unnecessarily. Enjoyment ? 7 I definitely enjoyed the beginning of the movie a lot. It got a bit tedious in the second part ? there was too much repetition in the part involving the five wooers, and it was obvious how Kaguya felt from the beginning, so I didn't enjoy this part very much apart from some really well-animated scenes and some nice moments. The last part of the movie gets better, though ? especially the little dreamlike romance scene towards the end was fantastic. Overall I enjoyed this movie, but it is very long (140+ minutes), and it definitely would not have hurt to remove or shorten a couple of scenes. Final verdict: Watch this movie if you want to see a well-animated, well-told classic Japanese fairy tale. The movie is beautiful in many ways, but don't expect a complex story, a typical Ghibli movie, a typical Takahata movie (what's that, anyway? ) or a typical anime movie at all. The emotional reaction you will feel will very much depend on how much you can sympathize with Kaguya. Though her emotions are very well depicted, there is a natural distance between the watcher and the fairy-tale characters, so even though there are heart-warming and sad scenes, they might not leave a huge impact on you.
Do you have the lyrics. It looks very boring plot-wise and stereotypical, and something is weird about the voice acting. BUT THERE'S A CUTE CAT IN IT SO I WILL SEE IT. Watch kaguya-hime no monogatari. You Nailed it Beautifully. :D. I HAVE THIS MOVIE HOME AND IT WAS MY FRIST ANIME I EVER WATCH AND I LOVE IT. Watch Kaguyahime no monogatari.

Such a beautiful movie. I liked it. I wish I would of known there was a dub version! it seems legit. I recommend it. En verdad este cuento tiene sus derivados, por en otras versiones es todo igual excepto en medio del cuento, pues después de los pretendiente, el emperador (de esa época) quiso saber quien era esa princesa, y al verla le dijo Se mi emperatriz pero hasta él, ella lo rechazo, igualmente el emperador la apreciaba; el día en que las personas de la luna llegarían por ella, y fue el emperador quien mando todo una ejercito para que custodiaran el palacio de la princesa Kaguya. I love that bit at 0:58. It is just so cool.

Holy hell. that animation is jaw dropping.

What the heck. was this really made in 2013? this looks like miyazaki's most boring film. The best movie ?. I watched this movie in Japanese AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE ENGLISH VERSION GAH. To me, this movie was way better than The Secret of Kells.

I liked this to a good extent, and my rating goes up because of the last 15 minutes, which are so magnificent. Those last several minutes and the first act are truly brilliant, but for some reason, the film sort of lost me in its middle and a little more than that. Not completely lost me, but it did get a little too much and it got to less interesting overall. I can't say I completely agree with the critical acclaim it's gotten, but I think it's a good, sometimes very good, film, definitely made stronger because of certain scenes. The sound mixing here is incredible, and the voice acting (in its original language) is pretty fantastic as well. Overall, still recommended but with reservations, yeah.
Here's a reason to stay on this planet. This movie looks absolutely intriguing and amazing. I hope i remember it. Película ?

I just finished watching the movie today 11/27/2016... It was soo cute! I love love it. At 1:25 I was like THAT WAS MY TEACHERS NAME. Time and time again, we learn that the simpler we make things, the more enduring and beautiful the outcome. This film goes back to the old way of animation - good ol' hand-drawn images, and it delivers the punch needed to floor any family member. Yes, this is a family film that'll bring tears to everyone's eyes. Granted, it is not quite as beautiful (and sad) as Grave of the Fireflies, but it not far behind in terms of it's sentimental storyline and lead child characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially the unpredictable ending. I usually stay away from fairytale infused Japanese films, but this one is an exception well worth the 2 hours. I would recommend listening to the original Japanese audio, not the American dub version.
QnQ? Got dammit japan. WHY are you so GOOD. Wow, these films have really evolved over the years. First in Voices from a distant star, every film after that has just looked better and better, this looks amazing.

Wish i could erase the movie out of my memory so i could rewatch this as if it's the first time again.
