The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya

Maori TV, 7pm Voices of Chloe Grace Moretz, James Caan.

This cultural masterpiece is so much more than a typical Japanese anime. A tiny being is found in a bamboo stalk by a woodcutter and she eventually grows into a princess of unspeakable beauty. The visuals have a dream-like impressionistic quality, and underneath is a morality tale about the futility of materialism. It is based on a 10th-century folk tale. ★★★★★
