The first act is charming and engrossing, the middle act dull and allusive, and the third act interesting and thought-provoking. On the whole Princess Arete is a beautiful mess; it succeeds in subverting your expectations of what a fairy tale should be like, but that’s mainly a natural by-product of subverting what a coherent narrative should be like.

I actually really liked this. Now people may ask if I liked this why the low rating? Well, the answer is simple. This is a great 30-minute story stretched to over three times that length.

Fits nicely into the late 80s early 90s Ghibli cannon despite it not being a Ghibli film.

Arete Hime is a wonderful anime from outstanding Japanese animation company Studio 4°C. Though a rather recent work this fantastic movie has the looks and feel of one of the good, old Studio Ghibli movies.
