This is one of the best animated Japanese movie I've had the pleasure of watching. It was adapted from a Japanese folk tale ‘‘The bamboo cutter’’, one of the founding texts of Japanese literature.
I really enjoyed watching this animated movie. The characters are endearing, naive and funny at the same time, with certain scenes making me all smiles and blithe. Others, on the other hand, are a little moving, but do not touch more than that. There are hardly any surprises, except for the final scenes. (Oops! Spoiler free)
The film is somewhat critical of society. Indeed, through this tale, the film tries to convey an important message encouraging children to live according to their wishes and not to bow to the fate that their parents have set for them. And that whatever happens, life is worth living. 0 reply
