Spirited Away – Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi:
I wasn’t sure if I’d like this film, after reading the short synopsis available on Lovefilm, but, that was all pointless as I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
The story is of a young girl who is unhappy about moving to a new home with her parents, and who manages to get into a world with spirits, ghosts, and magic.
The art in the movie is fantastic too – it’s been amazingly well done. The animation was also very very fluid, not something I normally associate with Japanese animation.
The story reminds me a little of the Wizard of Oz.
I give it 9/10. I watched it with Japanese voices and English subtitles.
