The film is based on a combination of plots and characters from the first four books of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea series: A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore and Tehanu; however, the film's title is named from the collection of short stories, Tales from Earthsea, made in 2001. The change of plot was "entirely different" according to the author Ursula K. Le Guin who told director Gorō Miyazaki, "It is not my book. It is your movie. It is a good movie", although she later expressed her disappointment with the end result.

  • (The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from Tales From Earthsea) Doug (vo): Tales From Earthsea is based on the series of novels that, sadly, I haven't read. But based on the majority of the film I've seen here, I just may need to.
  • A Studio Ghibli animated film based on the first, third, and fourth novels in the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin. Le Guin's response to the film can be found here. In a nutshell, she thought the films suffered in comparison to her own novels and that is was overly violent and preachy, and that the characters are too white (which is a serious issue for Le Guin), but that the movie was merely dissatisfying rather than outright bad. Given Le Guin's vehemently negative opinions of all prior attempts at adapting her work to other media this can be interpreted as getting off lightly.

Given Le Guin's vehemently negative opinions of all prior attempts at adapting her work to other media this can be interpreted as getting off lightly. The film was directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro, as Miyazaki had planned to retire. The elder Miyazaki's own reaction to the end product reportedly caused some friction between father and son, as well as some concern on the part of Studio Ghibli management over their ongoing lack of a new generation of directors capable of taking over for founding directors Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. While this film is covered under the Disney/Ghibli distribution deal, licensing issues with the Sci Fi Channel miniseries had prevented it from being released in North America. It finally hit US shores in August of 2010, with the dub cast featuring the likes of Willem Dafoe, Timothy Dalton, and Mariska Hargitay.
