Director Isao Takahata’s “The Tale of Princess Kaguya” finished up at the Cannes Film Festival and is now awaiting its official USA release date. The film from Takahata (who co-founded the internationally renowned Studio Ghibli with Hayao Miyazaki) tells the tale of a farmer discovering a tiny girl in a bamboo shoot who ages at a remarkably accelerated rate, and the related problems associated with that as experienced by the girl and her adoptive parents.
“The Tale of Princess Kaguya” – which was released in Japan last November – is set for a limited USA release in 2014 (possibly in conjunction with the 2014 Comic Con in San Diego) and will have its next release in South Korea on June 4, 2014.
