Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar®, Isao Takahata's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is a modern animated treasure with timeless appeal.

A tiny nymph found inside a bamboo stalk grows into a beautiful and desirable young woman, who orders her suitors to prove their love by completing a series of near-impossible tasks. The mysterious young princess enthrals all who encounter her, but ultimately she must confront her fate, the punishment for her crime.

An ancient folktale fresh with immediacy and relevance,The Tale of the Princess Kaguya holds an enduring and magical quality, with gorgeously expressive animation reminiscent of Japanese scrolls and an irresistible, irrepressible heroine.
