Moviegoers are saying
This Ghibli masterpiece strikes viewers as both emotionally overwhelming and transformative, with audiences praising Chihiro's powerful character arc while admitting some found the fantasy world initially disorienting. The film's ability to capture universal feelings of fear, growth, and resilience has cemented its status as potentially 'the best animated film of all time' among devoted fans.

Spirited Away is fast and funny; it's weird and wonderful. Mostly wonderful.

Visually imaginative, thematically instructive and thoroughly delightful, it takes us on a roller-coaster ride from innocence to experience without even a hint of that typical kiddie-flick sentimentality.

Miyazaki's films never stop at their brilliant surfaces. Spirited Away is a fairy tale in the classic tradition, a growing-up fantasy riding the rapids of the subconscious.
