While the suitors accomplish countless treasure-collecting quests for the King, the princess begins to experience an awakening curiosity in the outside world. Sneaking out of the castle several times, she begins to recognize that she has been missing out on life while locked away in the isolation of her tower. One night, Arete investigates the gifts given to her by her suitor and finds a book telling her the stories of ancient witches' and wizards' creations. When her life is disrupted by the arrival of two very enthusiastic suitors, who she shows no interest in, Arete makes up her mind to escape into the wider world but she is caught by the guards and sent before her father. </p><p>Just before she is brought to him, the King had met with a powerful sorcerer named Boax to discuss his proposal that Princess Arete be betrothed to the sorcerer. Although the King hesitates at first, he eventually gives in after Boax enchants her into becoming a traditional princess and accepting his advances. Boax then takes the princess to his far-away castle. There he reveals that he does not love her and that the only reason he has brought her there is to imprison her in a dungeon, as he is familiar with a prophecy that a princess named Arete will have the power to take away his eternal life. </p><p>As Arete sits in her new lonely surroundings, she slowly becomes friends with the one sympathetic person in Boax's castle – a villager named Ample. Ample explains to Arete that Boax has arranged with the nearby town that he will provide them with water for their fields so long as they feed him. Despite this arrangement, Ample reveals that she has begun digging her own well and that soon she will be free from dependence on Boax's magic. Encouraged by Ample to make a story, Arete at last breaks the enchantment Boax had placed on her and regains her old spirits. Soon after she is released by Boax, who still believes her to be enchanted, and sends on a magical quest of her own to bring back a ruby from a golden eagle in the mountains to the north. Returning in secret to Boax's castle, Arete instead discovers the source of Boax's magical ability to create water for the town. In trying to recover the source of the water, Arete is discovered by Boax who, in a fit of despondency, destroys his own castle and releases water into the land. It is revealed that he is not really a great wizard and can only use the limited power he had learned as a child before his people were wiped out. As he runs to escape the water, his gem that gives him eternal life is lost, taking his eternal life, showing that the prophecy was indeed true. </p><p>With the town's health restored, Arete is free to leave so she decides to first visit the golden eagle in the mountains to finally see it. She then goes abroad to be amongst the people of the Earth and to use her hands to make a life. The movie ends with Boax looking at his own hands thinking of Arete's words about the magic in peoples' hearts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Princess_Arete&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Princess Arete (<a href="/wiki/H%C5%8Dko_Kuwashima" class="mw-redirect" title="Hōko Kuwashima">Hōko Kuwashima</a>) - The young princess of the kingdom. Arete is filled with great interest in life, however as a princess she is expected to live a life she considers hopelessly mundane. As she has grown up, her role in the kingdom has grown in importance and she is moved to live on top of a high tower to enjoy a privileged seclusion from the facts and practicalities of the real world. From here she can only look down upon the vital town below and dream of traveling the world that she has read about in a book she keeps hidden under her bed. This seclusion has engendered strong curiosity about her in the town, and knights compete daily for her hand by questing for magical objects created by an ancient race. To relieve her isolation, the princess sneaks out of the tower to visit the town.</li> <li>Boax (<a href="/wiki/Tsuyoshi_Koyama" title="Tsuyoshi Koyama">Tsuyoshi Koyama</a>) - A wizard who has suddenly arrived at the castle on a flying machine to claim the hand of the princess.

Boax changes her appearance to that of a more traditional princess and enchants her into saying that she wishes to marry him. This at last persuades the King to allow him to take her away.

The film is 105 minutes in length. It was awarded the first "New Century <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_International_Anime_Fair" title="Tokyo International Anime Fair">Tokyo International Anime Fair</a> 21" award for excellence in the "Theatrical Release" category. The film is based on an original story by Diana Coles entitled "The Clever Princess", renamed to <i>The Adventures of Princess Arite</i><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">アリーテ姫の冒険</span></span>)</span> in Japan. The plot of the film is changed substantially from the original, mostly because director <a href="/wiki/Sunao_Katabuchi" title="Sunao Katabuchi">Sunao Katabuchi</a>, when he came on board the project, felt uncomfortable telling a <a href="/wiki/Feminist" class="mw-redirect" title="Feminist">feminist</a> story from a male point of view, and thus focused on more general themes such as individualism, respect, and diversity. The storyline itself remains that of a princess living in a tower pursued by suitors, and a wicked magician who takes her away. </p><p>The film's plot has been compared to those of films produced by <a href="/wiki/Studio_Ghibli" title="Studio Ghibli">Studio Ghibli</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> however the film has also been criticized for its slow pacing.<sup id="cite_ref-themreview_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-themreview-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Theme_songs">Theme songs</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Princess_Arete&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Theme songs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>"Wings of Gold" <ul><li>Lyrics: <a href="/wiki/Taeko_Onuki" title="Taeko Onuki">Taeko Onuki</a></li> <li>Composer, Arranger: Akira Senju</li></ul></li> <li>"Krasnoe Solntse" (Red Sun) <ul><li>Lyrics: <a href="/wiki/Origa" title="Origa">Origa</a></li> <li>Composer, Arranger: Akira Senju</li></ul></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Princess_Arete&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Taniguchi, Hideko. <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://catalog.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/handle/2324/18365/p131.pdf">The Reception and the Adaptation of Diana Coles' </a></i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://catalog.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/handle/2324/18365/p131.pdf">The Clever Princess<i> in Japan</i></a><i> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161124040023/http://catalog.lib.kyushu-u.ac.jp/handle/2324/18365/p131.pdf">Archived</a> 2016-11-24 at the <a href="/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a></i>.
