Description:
Adapted from the much loved Earthsea novels by author, Ursula Le Guinn, Studio Ghibli presents a sweeping adventure set in a mythical world filled with magic and enchantment. An epic tale of redemption and self-discovery, the story follows the journey of Lord Archmage Sparrowhawk, the master wizard, as he searches for the force behind a mysterious disturbance that has caused an imbalance in the land of Earthsea-suddenly crops and livestock are dwindling, dragons have reappeared and humanity is giving way to chaos. Along the way he rescues Arren, a troubled young prince who has fled his home and is being pursued by an enigmatic shadow. Arren joins Sparrowhawk on the quest and, moving closer to their intertwined destinies, they cross paths with Tenar, a former priestess, and her disfigured daughter, Therru. With Sparrowhawk's magical powers dissipating, all of them must band together to defeat the evil Cob and his henchman Hare, before Cob's mania to find immortality destroys Earthsea. TALES FROM EARTHSEA features an acclaimed voice cast including Timothy Dalton and Willem Defoe.
