SPIRITED AWAY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another magnificent fun film from the incredible Hayao Miyazaki.

Chihiro and her parents move to a new town and Chihiros new school.
Upon arriving they get a little lost and end up in an old run down theme type park which is very spooky and more than a little bizarre.
Chihiro spots little spirit houses in the undergrowth and strange carved stones in the woods.

They all decide to explore the park, although Chihiro is a little reluctant, the park is colourfully painted if quite rundown. They come across a deserted yet delicious smelling food stall and decide to tuck in but Chihiro has a bad feeling about the park and holds back.
Instead she goes of to explore by herself and this is where the movie really takes off…..

Night falls quickly and the park begins to light up by itself and dark shadowy spirits can be seen at each stall and by the time Chihiro returns to her parents they have changed into huge pigbeasts..

Spirits both good and evil are afoot in the park and once befriended by young Haku, Chihiro then sets out to rescue her parents and escape this spirit infested realm.


The animation is just superb, very colourful and well shot. The story flows wonderfully and moves along at a rapid pace. Weird and yet truly wonderful animation would best describe this film, not as good as ‘Nausicaa of the valley of the wind’ or ‘Howls moving Castle’ but fairly close.

The music which is constant throughout the movie compliments the action perfectly adding to the drama, thrilling sequences and scary bits.

Small children will love this film for its dazzling colours and wonderful vistas.
The English dubbing is flawless and gives the film a homely feel.

Another gem of a movie from master anime Hayao Miyazaki.


A Magical adventure that will enthral all the family.

Very highly recommended.
