    Great animated film
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2021*

I am a big fan of Studio Ghibli films, all of them are of extremely high quality with storytelling that rivals DreamWorks, Ralph Bakshi or Disney. Tales from Earthsea is a high quality film that is influenced by the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula Le Guinn. Le Guinn reputedly said it was a lovely film, but wasn't her stories. If you are a fan of the Earthsea trilogy, you might be disappointed. If you take an open mind to the film then you'll find a gorgeous animated film. The second issue is that Ghibli films have an extremely high bar in terms of quality and there are better films in the studio's back catalogue than Tales from Earthsea. Again if you come with an open mind you can enjoy an entertaining film with great storytelling

    A tricky but welcome debut by Goro
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2011*

I saw this film before I read the books and as many have already mentioned the books certainly are better, though that is often the case for any adaptation from book to film. The inevitable dilemma faced is that whilst a book aims to capture ones imagination and use that as the engaging mechanism to carry the reader through the story, a film does not have this luxury and has to provide the visual stimulus to engross the audience; a much more difficult task. For this reason alone I think one always has to take into consideration the difficulties faced as peoples unique imaginations may not live up to that of the film-makers, and as such they are already battling against the odds.Yet when I saw the film, without any prior knowledge of the books or of potential misgivings the film might encounter, I saw it with fresh eyes as it were, new to a world and the stories embroiled within and I was engrossed. The film explores the precarious equilibrium of Earthsea, as a balancing act of the powers of man, magic and dragon come into even more peril at the hands of the power-hungry mage Cob, whose only real opposition is the Archmage Ged and his ostensibly conflicted and much troubled wandering companion, Arren. The ambiguities of the protagonists very nature and actions imbue the film with an ever-present darkness - which is certainly a key tenet of the novels - which is also expressed by the dark underworlds and underhand practices that permeate the beautiful and captivating facade of a rich civilisation. This hidden darkness is off-set by the more open, though sometimes stark and uncompromising wilderness and the other-times green and pleasant undulating scenery, which essentially represent the more honest natural landscape and its accompanying characters Therru and Tenar, the strong yet equally vulnerable and mysterious heroines of the story. While the story is somewhat limited in scope comparatively to the novels, the imagery and artistry is truly captivating and there are moments where you feel you could be swept away on the wings of a dragon or into the oppressive darkness between worlds and as such, the story is more than enough to sustain interest and involvement throughout. If anything, too much story and reference to the novels, might simply have clouded and obscured the overriding sentiments and values of the film in the brief time it is allowed, having not the luxury of time and space that books so comfortably enjoy.In hindsight, I can understand how many were disappointed that some major issues were perhaps ignored/unexplained or simply told poorly or that the story was not `true' to the books, but I also appreciate an element of mystery as well as approaching things from an alternate perspective on events and imaginations. This film inspired me to read the books and for that I can only be grateful, and through reading the books my mind is now full of the beautiful imagery and animation portrayed in the film. I really look forward to any new offerings by Goro Miyazaki, especially considering the troubles he went through to make the film and the initial responses he had, as in light of these factors I'm certain he'll be a stronger and greater film maker and he's shown great skill and great potential in his tricky debut. One of the greatest testaments to Goro and Tales From Earthsea, is the fact that, for me at least, my enjoyment of the film increases with each viewing and I feel ever more satisfied having watched it again recently.The tale of Earthsea is essentially about balance, the balance of light and dark, life and death, good and evil, all of which are explored effectively and astutely to make a most enjoyable feature. In a way, this balance is somewhat prophetic, as Goro had the dire task of trying to balance the fans of the novels, the author (Ursula Le Guin), his father (Hayao), and the studio, in the making of his debut, yet I think he found a welcome enough balance such that Ged himself would be proud. For the completionist, this is a welcome addition to their Studio Ghibli collection, one to rival some of the darker themes presented by the Studio, and perhaps film in general. To the avid Earthsea fan however, this may be a disappointment. Though not without its flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and consider myself both of the above. So if you can untangle that contradiction, I wish you as much pleasure in doing so as I hope you derive from this film.PS: Somewhat unclearly, the Studio Ghibli Collection 2 Disc Special Edition of Tales From Earthsea shares a virtually identical listing on Amazon to the standard edition. So to purchase the two disc edition, you can simply click on the link in this post script, or scroll down to the product details page and check if 'Number of discs' is listed as 1 or 2. The extras on the 2 Disc Special Edition are quite informative and highlight many interesting points in the making of the film and its journey from the novel to the big screen, well worth the extra money.
