Loved this movie. I'm a westerner, spent time in Japan, loved this live-action fairy-tale love story. Even though the writer/director is somewhere in his 80's, he has a funny, surprising and high-energy style that will enchant you. If you're used to Disney and Pixar, maybe you should give it a miss, because it's off-beat and surprising--but I'm buying a copy for myself--loved it.

This review is from: Tanuki-Goten (Princess Raccoon) (DVD)

I found out about this movie because I really enjoy most of the movies that Zhang Ziyi is in due them being some what "artsy". This one was definatly no exception. Watching it and speaking English is not a problem as there are subtitles. Its basily a love story/musical, and any fan of art movies or Zhang Ziyi should view it. Great music, great acting, beautiful colors and sets and quite funny at times as well. Dont miss it. I only wish that the DVD extras, in particular the interviews with the cast was subtitled. It is not, but is still worth watching the extras even when you cant understand a thing.
