The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya - Official Trailer

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, even unseen she enthralls all who encounter her, including five noble suitors. Ultimately she must face her fate, punishment for her crime.

Based on the classic Japanese folktale, "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter", "The Tale of The Princess Kayuga" is the strikingly beautiful culmination of decades of contemplation by director and Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata.

Its one of those films that you don't dare to rewatch because the climax messes with your soul and is truly heart breaking. 😔

[pavementpounder]

Is it just me or did this film make anyone else really emotional? Touched something deep inside me.

[paulagil]

Oscars are so unfair. This deserves the oscar

[benegan]

I wish this won the Academy Award for Best Animated Film...

[LaughingMann]

I'm not exactly sure why, but this story left huge scars on my soul. To be honest, I was also happy that I had forgotten this story ...
What a wonderful masterpiece of emotion it can evoke in a person.

(SPOILER)

Especially the place where Kaguya ran back to her old village and "everything was fine" for a brief moment. That part of the movie broke me in a strange way.
"I would probably have been happy with you"

Please just let me go now so I can forget this story again.

This movie touched me in so many ways. Not only from the sad story, but of how relatable Kaguya is. I was also named after the goddess of the moon, and not too long ago had a dream that paralleled the events in this film. My life was really harsh growing up, and like Kaguya I loved all that life had to offer but hated it for how cruel it could be, and was always the outcast for being different. I was gifted but also cursed. I remember telling myself in my dream that I didn't want to be here anymore and just like that, my trapped soul broke free from my body and shot into the night sky. It was possibly the most memorable dream I ever had.

thanks studio ghibli for introducing the most touching movie ever. the movie leaves permanent mark on mind and heart. it takes u to another world which is beyond imagination where emotions r at its peak. while watching the climax u dont even realise that ur already helpless to accept it as it is.

[JulioChavezjfcho]

This film is Studio Ghibli's masterpiece. A beauty of history. 🥰🤧

[ahryaghardensan]

i cried for 3 hours after watching this movie.

[NiceYeagerist]

Something in this movie touched me deep in my heart. I first watched it when i was four, the year it came out. I didn't know much back then. And i only cried in the return to the moon scene. But now i started crying from the beginning. Everything in this movie is executed so beautifully. And perhaps it is because of growing up i started to lose that innocent and simple happiness i had as a child. As time passes I learned of regret and love. I would do anything to get back my childish imaginations and fun. But sometimes things are just gone and i gotta move on.

Studio Ghibli makes the best animated movies ever. And i think this is one of their best. I really want to thank all the people who contributed to the making of this masterpiece. I heard that the animation is all drawn by hand.

This movie means so much to me. Whenever I feel stuck or emotionless I just watch it all over again. Every time I watch it it brings back so many memories.

[bringobingo]

i’ve been crying at the end because i just watched her parents and everyone look at her while she looks back at earth and lets tears out and i cry in silence watching that

[ramen_]

i'm not crying

A very beautiful movie, and I adore this type of graphics and method of animation. This masterpiece is not hidden as long as it is from Studio Ghibli, but at the end of the movie, I don’t know why it left me with emptiness, coldness, and a sense of loneliness. Studio Ghibli films always give us this feeling. I wish she would stay on earth with her father and mother 😢
But a Japanese legend remains only in the movie. The story was changed slightly by the real story. It became a love story between her and the Emperor. Before she went up to the moon, she wrote a letter to the Emperor and gave him immortality, but the Emperor did not want to live forever without her. He ordered both the letter and the drug containing the elixir of immortality to be taken to the top of a mountain and burned. Since then, the mountain has been known as Fuji, which means "immortal."

[isolatedirectorofficial]

Probably the most beautiful film I've ever seen. 10/10.

[x_alastaire]

I remember watching this as a kid and getting scared. But watching this video is making me feel warm inside... A beautiful tale.

[ceciliaolong]

This is one of the movies I know I will never watch again. I seriously cannot go through what I went through emotionally while watching this. All in all, this is a beautiful movie that people should see.

[捨尾塚井]

ISAO TAKAHATA is the best Animation director. His animations will make effects on our minds forever.

[ouiilest]

Director Takahata made a famous work called Heidi and Anne of Green Gables.
When I think about the fact that this work is the final result of all those stories and girls' stories, I am naturally moved, and a kind of indescribable loneliness grips my heart.

[iwonder_why]

One of the best movie of all time. Everything about this movie is beautiful. this deserve an Oscar.

[MaligayaVlogs]

It’s a soul nourishing movie. ❤ Japanese anime movies like these are highly recommended. Instead of disney princess movies.
