A masterpiece in storytelling and animation.

Despite an overlong run time, Spirited Away is a visually stunning film filled with some of the most imaginative characters I've ever seen. In addition to the visuals, the music is beautiful, and the story has something for audience members of all ages.

I usually enjoy Miyazaki films quite a bit, and while I did enjoy this one, it was way too weird for me. I just couldn't get into it that much. I know people absolutely love this film, but it just wasn't my favorite (I'll always be more into Princess Mononoke personally). That being said, this is a likable film, and the references to Japanese myth and folklore are really cool. And perhaps I'll grow to like this film a little bit more with time and another viewing.

Japanese animated fantasy, Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi?, "Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away") is a 2001 film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and stars Rumi Hiiragi, Miyu Irino, Mari Natsuki, Takeshi Naito, Yasuko Sawaguchi, Tsunehiko Kamijo, Takehiko Ono and Bunta Sugawara. I will use one word to describe it - wonderful! It tells the story of Chihiro Ogino (Hiiragi), a ten-year-old girl who, while moving to a new neighbourhood, enters the spirit world. Stumbling on the food street in that world, her parents are transformed into pigs by the spell of the witch Yubaba (Natsuki), and Chihiro takes a job working in Yubaba's bathhouse to find a way to free herself and her parents and return to the human world. Miyazaki's script was based on associate producer Seiji Okuda's ten-year-old daughter, who came to visit his house each summer. Production of the animated film began in year 2000 with a budget of US$19 million, but during production, Miyazaki realized the film would be over three hours long and decided to cut out several parts of the story. I wish I could see the rest of the story! English version of the film was supervised by the Pixar director John Lasseter, a fan of Miyazaki. Screenwriters Cindy Davis Hewitt and Donald H. Hewitt wrote the English-language dialogue, which they wrote to match the characters' original Japanese-language lip movements. I haven't seen that version, I enjoyed the original with subtitles. Just to say that this is the most successful film in Japanese history, grossing about $270-350 million worldwide. The film even overtook Titanic (at the time the top grossing film worldwide) in the Japanese box office to become the highest-grossing film in Japanese history with a ¥30.4 billion total. Critics just love it, as the audience, and this animated movie is considered one of the best films of the 2000s decade and one of the greatest animated films of all time winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards, the Golden Bear at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival (tied with Bloody Sunday) and is among the top ten in the BFI list of the 50 films you should see by the age of 14. But , even if you are over 14, better now than never! If you want an amazing out-of-this-world story, excellent animation where technology is kept at a level to enhance the story, not to "steal the show", perfect voice acting, meticulous editing, outstanding music... and many more things... please, spend over 2 hours watching this masterpiece!
