Synopsis 故事摘要: - taken from YesAsia.com
Enter a dark, magical world of dragons and sorcery in Studio Ghibli's blockbuster animated epic Tales from Earthsea. Adapted from Ursula K. Le Guin's beloved children's fantasy book series, Tales from Earthsea marks the phenomenal directorial debut of Miyazaki Goro, the son of the legendary Miyazaki Hayao. Complex and compelling, Tales from Earthsea presents a sweeping, fantastical story about a young prince's journey through darkness and redemption.

A mysterious force is disturbing the natural balance in the land of Earthsea. Dragons are feuding, magic is dying, and the whole of humanity is falling into chaos. Haunted by inner demons, Prince Arren (voiced by Okada Junichi) stabs his father and runs away with the king's sword. He finds friendship and protection with kind-hearted master wizard Ged and a strange young girl named Therru. A shadow, however, continues to haunt Arren, drawing him to the evil sorcerer Cob whose quest for immortality is destroying the balance between the realm of the living and dead. To save Earthsea, Arren must stop Cob, but he himself is falling into darkness. (find out more).

《地海傳說》與《魔戒》、《魔幻王國納尼亞傳奇》被合譽為「三大奇幻文學」，各自的擁躉和書籍的發行量均以千萬計。22年前，宮崎駿已經想把《地海傳說》改編成動畫。宮崎駿最終將這套影響他最深的作品交由兒子宮崎吾朗主理，讓橫跨超過20年的「奇情」開花結果。

棲息在西海域盡頭的龍突然出現在人類世界所在的東之海，就像是受到感召一般世上的農作物開始枯萎，家畜紛紛悲鳴，世界的均衡遭到了破壞。 為了尋找災難的源頭，大賢者基度與捨棄了國家的王子亞倫相遇，二人結伴前往世界的邊緣地帶。到達世界邊緣後，亞倫遇見傳說中的龍，龍指引他們前往生與死的邊緣--死亡的國度。兩個人隨後來到了都城浩特鎮，那里人口販賣衹是家常便飯，雖然表面看起來浩特鎮是個熱鬧的地方，但其實早已失去了應有的實在感。 在鎮上徘徊著的亞倫偶然從人販子手中救出了被欺騙的迷之少女蒂露，對陌生人充滿戒心的蒂露卻始終不信任任何人。世界災難預兆的背後，有一個被稱為寇博的男人，這個比誰都害怕死亡的男子，是在過去與基度戰鬥卻戰敗收場的大魔法師，正是他對死亡的懼怕迫使他用法術破壞了生死平衡，並且以人對死亡的恐懼控制人的靈魂。二人奮力抗爭挫敗了寇博的陰謀，但也付出相當沉重的代價…… 看詳情.





My thoughts 我的感言:
The movie was never screened in Malaysia's cinemas, therefore I didn't get to watch it. Anyway, since it's a Studio Ghibli production, I'm sure it won't be that bad.

So far, I've enjoyed every single one of Studio Ghibli's works. They are not just another high budget anime with stunning visual effects or graphics... but stories with philosophy that makes you think about LIFE.

Each of their works, carries a message behind, emphasizing the concept of love, respect, courage, good against evil, peace, selflessness, environmental concern... and I value & respect all that.

I've actually ordered this version.
