Moviegoers are saying

This Studio Ghibli masterpiece resonates deeply with audiences who connect with Chihiro's transformative journey from fearful child to confident young woman. While some viewers admit to feeling lost in its dreamlike world (comparing it to being lost in a department store as a child), most are captivated by the film's emotional authenticity and stunning animation that demands multiple viewings on the big screen.

Spirited Away

After I watched the whole thing and towards the end when haku and sen (shortened their names since I dunno how to spell their full names properly) departed I kinda felt empty after that I just wondered if they would ever see each other again ..
