The BEST Scene in the Most OVERLOOKED Studio Ghibli Film (The Tale of Princess Kaguya)

In this video essay, I cover (what I personally think) is the best scene in one of the most overlooked Studio Ghibli films ever: The Tale of Princess Kaguya. Co-written and directed by Isao Takahata.
The animation is not only extremely fluid and breathtaking but the sheer emotion that goes into this scene is truly immense, which is why I just had to talk about it.
I plan on making these videos weekly, so stay tuned for the next one!

Also agree that even though it's just a folktale, it touches on themes that are super relevant - feeling like your destiny is out of your control, suppressing yourself for the sake of people around you, and generally being lost or lonely

My sister, who had been chronically sick, knew she didn't have much time left. She was always talking about this movie, and told our parents they should watch it before she passed.

Kaguya’s flight is one of the most painfully beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life, I’ve never felt something on film penetrate as deeply as this does for me and in my life this is going to have been one something of a defining sight. I can’t watch it without crying.

It's such a fantastic scene! I love the way Isao Takahata wasn't afraid to go in unconventional directions with the animation. The way the art seems to disintegrate to intensify her emotions is really striking. Nice video essay!

One of the best anime scenes of all time! I love these simple drawings combined with extremly wild animations. A masterpiece

I loved this movie, the running animation is beautiful and very heart wrenching

frozen could never 😌

[@eddoftheedds4513]

LOL I agree

[@c.eanimationworld6742]

Don't even compare frozen to an actual masterpiece

[@amitkenan3878]

I wouldn't call the movie "stupid"

The rage on her face. The tension in the fingers. The speedy run. The sprinting towards the moon. Then she tumbles down the hill.
