The highest grossing film in Japanese box-office history (more than $234 million), Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away (Sen To Chihiro Kamikakushi) is a dazzling film that reasserts the power of drawn animation to create fantasy worlds. Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and Lewis Carroll's Alice, Chihiro (voice by Daveigh Chase--Lilo in Disney's Lilo & Stitch) plunges into an alternate reality. On the way to their new home, the petulant adolescent and her parents find what they think is a deserted amusement park. Her parents stuff themselves until they turn into pigs, and Chihiro discovers they're trapped in a resort for traditional Japanese gods and spirits. An oddly familiar boy named Haku (Jason Marsden) instructs Chihiro to request a job from Yubaba (Suzanne Pleshette), the greedy witch who rules the spa. As she works, Chihiro's untapped qualities keep her from being corrupted by the greed that pervades Yubaba's mini-empire. In a series of fantastic adventures, she purges a river god suffering from human pollution, rescues the mysterious No-Face, and befriends Yubaba's kindly twin, Zeniba (Pleshette again). The resolve, bravery, and love Chihiro discovers within herself enable her to aid Haku and save her parents. The result is a moving and magical journey, told with consummate skill by one of the masters of contemporary animation. MPAA Rated: PG ("Some scary moments") --Charles Solomon

 Attention grabber November 17, 2008
This movie has kept my granddaughter mesmorized for hours on end. She can't get enough of it.
 Love it!! October 30, 2008
I bought this movie as a gift for my sister. We both love this movie! It arrived quickly and in excellent condition! She was very excited to get it! I highly recommend this movie to anyone!
Miyazaki love. October 1, 2008
Hayao Miyazaki, obviously, is an amazing director. Joe Hisaishi's music just makes this movie jump to an astronomical level. I usually get sick of movies very quickly, but no matter how many times I watch this movie..it just takes my breath away. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Amazing! September 28, 2008
Spirited Away is an amazing movie. It's very touching, and a great family movie. If you like Hayao Miyazaki, you should buy this movie. It's very touching...
FOR PARENTS: Beautiful but not for small children September 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This movie is beautiful and I agree with many of the reviews. But those that say it is for young children probably do not have children. I watched this with my five year old daughter (the first hour) and she got very quiet and left the room. She ended up being very scared and upset in a very real way. She even had nightmares. It was my mistake. I should have watched it first to see. I am not saying that ALL children would be. But I would definitly say it is for more sophisticated children/older. And yes-classic disney was a bit more scary. But the scene where snow white gets lost in the forest is not quite the same as the feeling and imagery of the this film which does not let up as does Snow White when she says "I was being silly to be scared" then starts singing. Just watch it first and see what you think before showing small children.
