The 2013 film Tale of Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫の物語) will play in Pittsburgh-area theaters on November 25 and 27, part of this year's Studio Ghibli Fest.

The mysterious young princess enthralls all who encounter her – but ultimately, she must confront her fate, the punishment for her crime.It plays at many local theaters, including the AMC Loews Waterfront, the GQT Pittsburgh Mills, Chartiers Valley Luxury 14, and the Cinemarks in Monaca, Monroeville, North Hills, and Robinson.
