Spirited Away Review
June 12, 2020
Spirited away is an animated film by Studio Ghibli. Released in 2001 in Japan and
dubbed to English in September of 2002.
The movie is about a girl who moves to a new town. After finding what her and her parents believe is an abandoned theme park, all three of them see a food stall with freshly made food. Her parents, being what I saw as selfish, took it upon themselves to eat all of it. Chihero, the main character, notices her parents have become literal pigs and is frightened. Running off, she gets herself stuck in a rut and must find out how to turn them back and get home safely.
As the first animated movie I’ve seen, I have to grade it as one of the best in my book. The storyline is good, and the movement of characters is amazing. Even the moral of the story is good. Seeing Chihero progress with the story has made me believe in strength and hope once again.

what i liked what the author did is that they kept it sweet and simple with how straight forward and straight to the point it is, very helpful to know what spirited away is like without giving away any spoilers.
i wanted to learn a little bit more, it’s almost a little too short i fear.
i agree with the author’s biased opinion yet great, about it being a very beautiful & brilliant movie.

I completely agree! This movie is definitely a 10/10 for me. The story line is immaculate, enjoyable, and easy for everyone to understand without knowing Japanese folklore. I will make sure to always have this movie on my shelf, and I recommend it to everyone! kids AND parents!
