The Tale of the Princess Kaguya A.K.A. Kaguya-hime no Monogatari (2013)

A Japanese animated drama directed by Isao Takahata, starring Chloe Grace Mortez, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Lucy Liu, George Segal, James Marsden, Oliver Platt, Dean Cain, Beau Bridges and John Cho.
A woodcutter finds a miniature princess in the forest and brings her home to his wife. The princess turns into a baby and begins growing at a rapid pace. The woodcutter then finds gold and silks in the same forest and decides to make the girl a princess. After building a mansion for her in the capitol, a tutor is hired and suitors come and ask to marry the princess.
I'm writing about this movie because the animation was so good. As with most Miyazaki, Takahata and Ghibli films, the plot and characters were developed very well. There are background details and some serious "re-watch quality". There is also the common theme in these films of simple things being better and a return to nature. As you can see by the image above, the whole film was animated in a style similar to traditional Asian paintings. The fact that this is how the whole film was done explains the 49.3 million dollar budget. What I don't get is it only grossing 24.2 million dollars in the box office. It seems like something this good would have made more money than was spent on it. This is top shelf animation and I rate it awesome. Watch it!
