Description: Tales from Earthsea, known as Gedo Senki in Japan, was a polarizing fantasy film from Studio Ghibli, and debut feature of Goro Miyazaki - son to the most beloved animator of all time. In this video I take a look at how it came to be, why it was so divisive and exactly what is in the power of a name. Quick Note: Tales from Earthsea is based off a series of books known as the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin - to avoid confusion between the two I refer to the film under it's Japanese name during the video. Also, there's mild spoilers during part two (the critique) of this video, so use the time jumps to skip ahead if you'd rather miss them.
