Really cool childlike fairytale visuals with a level of creativity that reminds us why mythic tales fascinated us so much during our young ages, yet with enough of a few dark undertones to keep the interest of that part of our spirits that were crushed by the reality of becoming an adult. Fantasy fun with a slight twist of macabre for the whole family

Zeniba: Now, try to remember as much as you can about your old life. Chihiro: For some reason, I can remember Haku... from a long time ago... but I thought I never met him before! Zeniba: Oh, that's a wonderful place to start! Once you meet someone, you never really forget them. In the middle of her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl Chihiro/ Sen wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monsters; where humans are changed into animals; and a bathhouse for these creatures. Hayao Miyazaki's animated masterpiece is obviously a very foreign film--and not simply because it comes from another country i.e: Japan, there's an imagination at work that's so organic and remote that it seems to spring from an individual's subconscious and as such feels as if it ha...Read more

This was the first movie I got addicted with thanks to my sis. The director, Hayao Miyazaki directed a lot of movies and this is my favorite. I dunno why maybe because I used to watch this with everyone all the time. My friends, family, anyone! I watch this movie like very day! Well I dont but I do watch it often. When I watch it alone my sisters get all worried and try to make me happy. i dunno why but then again I never watch this movie without anyone so *shrugs*

"Once you do something, you never forget. Even if you can't remember." Spirited Away is a breathtaking, incredible anime experience. The whole movie is a highly imaginative, wonderful, fantastical children's anime feature that could be the greatest piece of animation to come out of Japan. A young girl named Chihiro (voiced by Hîragi in the Japanese dub, and Chase in the English dub) is travelling to her new home with her parents. Before arriving at their new house, Chihiro's father takes a wrong turn and ends up stopping in front of a mysterious building. Soon Chihiro finds herself venturing into a secret world where her parents undergo a mysterious transformation. Chihiro is left disorientated, and is now trapped in a world where she must face strange spirits, groups of creatu...Read more

Chihiro realiza un viaje fantástico a otra dimensión. Como un sueño o una pesadilla, tiene que enfrentarse con monstruos y amigos para poder recuperar a sus padres. No tiene un minuto de desperdicio, es una película para ver y re-ver. Todo encaja: personajes increíbles, mitología nipona, música fantástica y dibujos bellísimos, que acompañan una historia de búsqueda de identidad, llena de mensajes sobre la amistad, la familia y el sentido de la vida.

An original and enchanting storyline and film. En route to their new home a sulky 10 year old Chihiro and her family unwisely decide to take a short cut and duly arrive lost, at an abandoned theme park. All soon turns out not to be what it seems as Chihiro’s glutinous parents are transformed into pigs after eating the food of the spirits which reside in the park, which after sunset serves as a bath house for the spirits of their realm. Chihiro is then faced with the dilemma of running free and escaping this unfamiliar and terrifying world which she has fallen into, or staying and finding a way to free her parents. The characters are unique and refreshingly unobvious, stubborn, sulky and rude, bending away form the norm of other fairytales and animated films. The plot takes on very...Read more

There are so many magical beings in Spirited Away, directed by Japanese animation master, Hayao Miyazaki, that sometimes, even the creatures seen in the story scare each other. Although, don't be misled: even if it's set in a fantasy world and have an infinity of fantastic characters, the film could hardly be considered a 'children's film'. For the contrary, filled with pauses in the action and contemplative silences, this production certainly will please much more adults than the youngest audience, that might even be scared at certain points. Written by Miyazaki himself, Spirited Away is about a little girl, Chihiro, whose parents decide to move. During their trip to their new home, the girl's family gets lost, and they end up finding a tunnel in the middle of the woods. Courious, the ...Read more

A thoroughly entertaining childrens film filled with fantasy and hearty characters. The film follows a young girl whisked off into a fairytale land inhabited by monsters and witches. To her dismay her parents are also teleported to this place and turned into pigs. She makes it her task to free herself and her parents while working for the hotelier who bewitched her family in the first place.

During her time at the hotel she makes new friends and grows into a much stronger human being. I'd have no problem showing this to my children (if I had any!) though I do prefer Howl's moving castle! Another classic Miyazaki film.

Whether to leave your parents to live out the rest of their lives as pigs in pigpens or get out while the going is good? Tough call. Good movie for children of whatever age.
