Customer Ratings & Reviews

The animation style could have been better. This is the story of the Bamboo Princess, or Moon Princess, depending on where you first heard the tale. It follows the bamboo cutter's life and the mysterious girl's rapid growth and rise of popularity in the royal court.

Visually striking, vastly different from typical Ghibli affair brought down by dated material. No matter how much spin director tried to apply it doesn't change the fact that is old tale. In that aspect reminds me of John Carter. For diehard fans of Ghibli only.

This movie is all around beautiful. The way it is animated is incredible. Bravo to the team who made it. Definitely recommending to anyone and everyone, young and adults.

This is essentially a must have for any Ghibli collection and I am happy these are finally getting an official US release.

Studio Ghibli breaks the mold with this stunning feature that is wonderfully surprising and yet timelessly traditional.

Great movie, good for the entire family, but not just for kids. Beautiful animation, very worthwhile.

Great ancient story line and different style drawing animation.

Beautiful hand drawn animation comes to life in this excellent family friendly movie.

A new favorite for the family. Great story, excellent visuals and just fun to watch

Definitely different from the majority of other Ghibli films, but still visually stunning and a great storyline!

Even though a little sad, this is a beautiful movie with stunning artwork.

This film showcases Isao Takahata's skills as a master filmmaker, just as The Wind Rises did for Miyazaki. It runs a little long and is overly sentimental in some areas, but is recommended viewing for any fans of Studio Ghibli.

Once again Studio Ghibli amazes us with another wonderful film. It was also better than I expected.

Oh my gosh, I was SO mad at this story. I can only watch the first half now. Such great writing. But too intense for me.

Sturdy disk, Excellent picture quality.great movie studio ghibli

Great story! This studio never disappoints. One of their best works yet!

rest in peace to the late genius isao takahata. this is another gorgeous masterpiece in his filmography

I loved the storybook art style. Very well done. It is the telling of a classic legend.

Studio Ghibli releases another instant classic. The colors and style will grab you alone. Not necessarily for the very young.

Bet it is going to be another classic by Studio Gibli...my granddaughter also loved it
