Spirited Away

From Hayao Miyazaki, one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema, comes the Academy Award winning masterpiece, Spirited Away.

Spirited Away is a wondrous fantasy about a young girl named Chihiro who discovers a secret world of strange spirits, creatures and sorcery.
When her parents are mysteriously transformed, she must call upon the courage she never knew she had to free herself and return her family to the outside world.

• “Spirited Away was a revelation to me! It belongs with Shrek, A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in setting fresh standards of animation technique. And for sheer beauty and imaginative daring it may surpass them all! In this film, all worldly problems seem unreal. We need more like it. A film of rare and genuine enchantment.”

  – Evan Williams, THE AUSTRALIAN

• “An earth-shaking experience! This is a work of startling originality - it's a classic. Truly a movie for the whole family, Spirited Away will delight adults and children alike, combining large helpings of heart, thrills, chills, and belly laughs. A stunning experience! Any good? Mind-blowing and essential.”

  – Matt Coyte, Empire MAGAZINE

• “Extremely accomplished. Miyazaki has created a wonderfully bizarre world. The visual design is extremely rich and the level of invention is prodigious. Every element of the film – the storyboards, the animation, the music – is testimony to a considerable talent. I got a lot out of this film. It’s so different!”
