Description

From one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema comes the most acclaimed film of 2002. Hayao Miyazaki's latest triumph, filled with astonishing animation and epic adventure, is a dazzling masterpiece for the ages. It's a "wonderfully welcoming work of art that's as funny and entertaining as it is brilliant, beautiful, and deep" (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal). SPIRITED AWAY is a wondrous fantasy about a young girl, Chihiro, trapped in a strange new world of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, she must call upon the courage she never knew she had to free herself and return her family to the outside world. An unforgettable story brimming with creativity, SPIRITED AWAY will take you on a journey beyond your imagination. "To enter the world of Hayao Miyazaki is to experience a kind of lighthearted enchantment that is unique to the world of animation" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). It's a fantastic tale the whole family will want to experience over and over again.

Review by Lori on 9th February, 2009
5 stars "Truly beautiful."

Every now and again we are blessed enough to recieve something truly beautiful.

An enchanting, breath-taking journey, Spirited away is eastern film making's answer to “Alice in Wonderland”. The story of a young girl's adventures as she tries to save her parents from an evil curse after being thrust into the spirit world.

Frightened and alone Chihiro faces terrible dangers and decievers. For the first time in her life she is forced to confront her own insecurities and pessimism. A hesitant, defiant heroine, she gradually learns courage and hope for the love of her parents.

Re-discover the magic of your childhood movies with this enthralling passage into the realm of pure imagination.

Review by Jade on 14th October, 2009
5 stars "An Instant Classic"

Spirited Away is one of the all time greatest movies I have EVER seen. Miyazaki is a genius, and this is one of his best.

With breath-taking animation, you feel like you want to fall into each and every scene, and explore each and every corner.

When you first see some of the characters, you may find them a bit odd, but they worm their way into your heart and you come to realise the film wouldn't be what it is without them!

If I described this film in one word it would have to be ‘BRILLIANT’.
