The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya

The classical tale of the “bamboo princess” is retold here in an animated film by Studio Ghibli. A poor farmer finds a tiny girl inside a shining stalk of bamboo. He and his wife raise her in the countryside until she grows into an exquisite young lady. The family moves to the capital, where the girl attracts a long line of suitors — only for her mysterious origin to complicate the matter. Directed by Isao Takahata.
