Moviegoers are saying
This Studio Ghibli masterpiece strikes viewers as a transformative coming-of-age journey that can feel overwhelming yet deeply moving, with audiences particularly connecting to Chihiro's emotional vulnerability - especially that unforgettable rice ball crying scene. While some found the fantastical world initially disorienting (one reviewer compared it to being lost in a department store as a child), most recognize it as potentially the best animated film of all time.

Metacritic
Spirited Away is fast and funny; it's weird and wonderful. Mostly wonderful.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
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.
Jay Boyar
Orlando Sentinel
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.
