Something bizarre has come over the land. The kingdom is deteriorating. People are beginning to act strange... What's even more strange is that people are beginning to see dragons, which shouldn't enter the world of humans. Due to all these bizarre events, Ged, a wandering wizard, is investigating the cause. During his journey, he meets Prince Arren, a young distraught teenage boy. While Arren may look like a shy young teen, he has a severe dark side, which grants him strength, hatred, ruthlessness and has no mercy, especially when it comes to protecting Teru. For the witch Kumo this is a perfect opportunity. She can use the boy's "fears" against the very one who would help him, Ged.

I am a huge fan of both Ursula Le Guin and Studio Ghibli but the story and the presentation just weren't all they needed to be. The fragments of story they excerpted from the novel lacked cohesiveness, so the characters' stories were truncated and lost. The art work was true to the beauty of Ghibli. I'm disappointed that I can only give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. [Animated Fantasy]

Beautiful, Gripping & Enchanting. Tales from Earthsea is another spectacular addition from Studio Ghibli. Everything about this movie is utter perfection, from the story telling, animation and world building. Tales from Earthsea is everything I love about Fantasy movies. **10/10**

This one not has good as most of the Studio Ghibli franchise and didn’t have the same feel and didn’t think much on the storyline and some of the effects and animation were alright, others not so much and did seem darker from the rest I’ve seen so far. It had a little feel of lord of the rings and did like the dubbed voice actors specially (Timothy Dalton) that played the wizard sparrowhawk, the names hawk, sparrowhawk.

The themes and memorable imagery in Earthsea will be familiar to fans of Studio Ghibli, but the storytelling and animation are three steps behind.
