The Tale of Princess Kaguya

An emotional wreck this thing created.  Left me a bit speechless.  It was beautiful but emotional.  No, I don't want to hype this up saying this is the most saddest thing I've seen.  No, there were lots of other films that made shed some tears.  This one almost came close.  What made it emotional was the concept itself.  The concept of life and death told in a very unique way.  Love the sounds on here.  This played at Fantastic Fest last year and won the Audience Award.  This was also nominated for Best Animation at this year's Oscars.  It is by Studio Ghibli.  I've only seen Spirited Away.  I need to check out the rest of the catalog.
A must see original Animation for sure.   Fair warning: it is 2 hours and 17 minutes long.
