Moviegoers are saying
This Studio Ghibli masterpiece strikes viewers as an emotionally transformative experience that captures both childhood wonder and profound personal growth. While some find themselves initially lost in its dreamlike world (much like being lost in a department store as a child), audiences consistently praise Chihiro's powerful character arc and the film's ability to evoke deep emotional responses through moments like the iconic rice ball scene.

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.
