The tale of princess Kaguya

I remember when I was very young, they used to show this Chinese movie on tv about a princess coming from the moon, or going to the moon !??! I wonder if this the same story.

I am most biased when it gets to animations and even more biased when the animation is from studio Ghibli, because they are so perfect and so talented and make these cute things that you don't even need a story to follow, you just want to sit and watch.

The story is about a girl who comes from the moon into the life of a poor couple, and she brings a lot of gold with her. The husband decides with all this money they have to take her to the city and build a mansion and raise her like a princess.They give her best lessons and make her wear the nicest clothes until she become famous in the city and legitimate bachelors start asking her for marriage. The girl is not happy and feels trapped in her castle and she wants to go back to the village and live freely.

It sounds a little bit of a cliche, but believe me you won't notice that. This animation is very well made with plots all hand drawn with soft colors and very flow y. The music is amazing and everything came together so well that you feel all their feelings and make connection with the character. This is certainly not your flamboyant Pixar or Disney animations and you would certainly not expect that from Ghibli, but they always made amazing animations like spirited away which already won an Academy awards best animation.

I would certainly recommend this to anyone who likes well made animations and give a 7.5/10 to it.
