What stood out was the ending, one that was completely unexpected but also one that is beautifully melancholic and emotionally heart-breaking. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya's thoughtfully scripted, has some elements of whimsy and flows well and while the characters are archetypal they still engage.
The voice acting is very good, with the Japanese version even better than that. In the English dub, which for this viewer wasn't bored-sounding at all, Chloe Grace Moretz voices with a lot of spirit, James Caan is authoritative and Mary Steenburgen is sympathetic and dignified with her Narrator being the stronger of her two roles.
Overall, a stunning film, may alienate some but as seen will captivate most. For those looking for an action-packed Disney-style romp with dumb comedy, go elsewhere.
The fantasy story is tinged with warmth but also sadness and tragedy; a classic coming-of-age tale with something of a depressing outcome. My only complaint is that it's a little long, but that doesn't detract from the experience. Login Register. Loading, please wait. Quality: All p p p 3D. Year: All Select movie quality.

Miyatsuko comes upon gold and fine cloth in the bamboo grove in the same way he found his daughter. He takes these as proof of her divine royalty and begins planning to make her a proper princess. He relocates the family to the capital, forcing her to leave her friends behind.
She finds herself in a mansion, replete with servants. She is also saddled with a governess who is tasked with taming her into a noblewoman. She struggles with the restraints of nobility, arguing that life should be full of laughter and struggle.
When the girl comes of age, she is granted the formal name of 'Princess Kaguya' for the light and life that radiates from her. Miyatsuko holds a celebration in commemoration of her naming. At the celebration, Kaguya overhears partygoers ridiculing her father's attempts to turn a peasant girl into a noble through money. Kaguya flees the capital in despair and runs back to the mountains, seeking Sutemaru and her other friends, but discovers that they have all moved away.
As always for a Ghibli movie the movie has an eye for detail and you just feel the passion which was put into this movie. This movie was one of the best anime I have ever seen and probably also one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Japanese audience and critics are also very positive for this film, compared to other Ghilbi films. One of the reason is that he relies on his imagination and makes light of a script. His philosophy is very different from that of Hayao Miyazaki.
