Die Legende der Prinzessin Kaguya

Eine schöne, angenehme Geschichte mit einer sehr gelungenen und interessanten Animation, aber ja, es stimmt, dass es zu sehr in die Länge gezogen ist und man die ganze Geschichte nicht so intensiv erlebt, wie man es könnte, wenn sie um viele Minuten kürzer wäre, aber trotzdem bleibt es ein sehr interessantes und gelungenes Werk, das die 4* von mir voll verdient hat.

This film shows what classic Japanese stories look like. It's not so much about what happens, but how it happens and where it happens. So if you're a person who likes modern storytelling, this is not a story that can hold your interest. But if you like classic Japan, this is it – the colors, the characters, the narrative style, the music. The charm of the story is reinforced by the beautiful pastel colors and "ordinary animation", which has been around in Japan since ancient times. And we are lucky enough to have the story published in book form – "Taketori monogatari". (17.04.2015)

Taking on this style of animation for a film that lasts over two hours and hoping that the creators captivate the viewer and hold their attention was certainly a big task. But they succeeded. This is the essence of traditional Japan in its magical form. A beautiful story about a princess who is different from the others. Actually, she is different from everyone. Beautiful, moving.
