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.

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’.

I thought that this website was unsafe and all, since I have never heard of it. Anyways, so I ordered this movie, and it came within a couple of days. I loved that it was packaged in bubble wrap that protected the DVD. I played the movie on my laptop and tv and it was really good quality. Overall the service was brilliant.

The story, the animation, the attention to detail in every screen; everything about this film is a perfect display of the skills and craft of Studio Ghibli. This film won the Best Animated Oscar in 2003; it should have just won Best Picture.

A must for any ghibli collection

Better then anything I ever watched as a child. The children of today are lucky that they have access to such gems!

This is one of those fabulous anime movies that can be watched over and over again. Wonderful.

One of the best Miyazaki movies ever, another movie with a powerful message built in, a must-see. Definately worth buying

Loved every minute of this movie, nothing is what you think it is, and it's got it's own sense of humour. Great movie!

We always wonder what it is like in a spirit world? Miyazaki certainly shows us what it is like in this movie. So many details to observe and wonder. Chihiro's hairband sparkled when she came out of the spirit world. Does this indicate there will be something beyond, maybe a sequel to this movie?

This movie is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen it brings power and emotion into one epic film would recomend to all movie lovers

No matter what mood I'm in this movie will always leave me feeling good about myself! I love falling asleep to it and having amazing dreams! The story, animation, voice acting and music are all magical! I would also highly recommend Howls Moving Castle which I think is almost better but that's only because I love the audio.

Spirited Away is a movie that is beautiful. It is beautifully written, beautifully animated every single person I know that has watched this film has loved it.

I find it amazing that a film can have both fast paced adventure sections, quirky, oddball comedy and quiet, intimate moments without ever feeling uninteresting, disorienting or bland.

Initially I was slightly put off by the odd setting, but it soon becomes clear that it works perfectly. It is a an experience I will love for years and no doubt watch many more times again.

If you are considering getting the film and are not quite sure, be assured that if any animated film will be able to win your heart, this is probably it.

Spirited Away is one of those family films that comes along every now and then. Full of wonder and excitement and set in a magical world that appeals to both young and old this is a masterpiece of cinema and worth viewing by both fans and non-fans of anime.

truly a magical journey, a story that takes you into another world, captivating not just for the kids but the adults as well. a movie you would watch again.
