Of all of Takahata-san’s films, this one ranks as my personal favorite (with POM POKO coming at a close second), on account of its amazingly nuanced and complex characters, a magical musical score, and perhaps the most beautiful art direction of any animated feature since POCAHONTAS.

On another note, this film served as my introduction to the folktale of “Kaguya-hime no Monogatari”- I later heard it alluded to in the 1989 Sesame Street special “Big Bird in Japan.”

This movie is a lot to take in and has a slow pace but boy do I love it. It’s probably the best combination of animation and music I’ve ever seen next to Fantasia

I’ve been wanting to watch this movie since it came out. I’m somewhat familiar with The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, but I don’t really have a good reason as to why I haven’t watched this yet. Good review, I’m definitely going to check this out soon
