This is a 2006 Japanese animated movie which was rereleased by Disney in 2010. Willem Dafoe and Tim Dalton provide voice talents to some of the characters.
This tales the story of a world which is out of balance, and as a result crops don't grown, people are overtaken by evil desires, and things are not right. Darkness is taking over the land. Dragons have been seen. In the midst of this, the prince is taken by an evil spirit, and stabs and kills his father, and then runs away. The prince is taken in by a wizard, and they escape to the home of a friend, and enjoy farming with her. She has taken in a young woman, who had been abandoned. The four of then must face the evil sorcerer, who has put the unbalance in motion, by defying death. He is really very old, but looks young because of his magic. He has put his own heart into the heart of the prince. The good wizard, the prince, and the lady friend are all captured, but the prince visits the young woman in spirit, and asks her to bring his sword, which she does. He makes his escape, and the two go in rescue of the teachers before they are killed.
This movie has a fascinating twist in the end, but shows how balance can be restored through love.
