''The Tale of the Princess Kaguya'' was released to critical acclaim, being nominated for an Academy Award for the Best Animated Feature (although it lost to ''[[Big Hero 6]]''), and an Annie Award for Best Animated Feature (losing to ''[[How to Train Your Dragon 2]]''). It is one of the few films to have a 100% score [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_tale_of_the_princess_kaguya on Rotten Tomatoes].
The story begins with a bamboo cutter — Sanuki no Miyatsuko — finding a girl — Later named Princess Kaguya — in a shoot, and taking her home and raising her. Princess Kaguya grows quickly, to the point where she is nicknamed ''Little Bamboo'' by the children around her. She begins playing with the children, and meets Sutemaru, the oldest of them
Meanwhile, Miyatsuko went back into the bamboo forest, where he is blessed with luxury clothes as well as gold. Using these, his family, including Kaguya, buys a house and moves into the capital.
Sounds great, right? Nothing better than life as a princess living with loyalty!
Um, no.
As it turns out, Princess Kaguya ''does not'' like life as a princess and being moved away from her childhood friends. The capital is filled with people making empty promises, where Kaguya is treated like an object to be married to other than an actual, living human being. The rest of the film deals with Kaguya's internal conflict of the lifestyle pushed onto her by her parents, and her desire to return to her natural home. But something lurks in the sky, in the big white thing we call "The Moon"...
