Spirited Away


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Morgan, Louisa

This is the Ghibli film that most westerners saw first. It's pretty spectacular too. Miyazaki's stream of consciousness style of writing is on full display and you never quite know where the story is heading.

Filled with fairy tail and fantasy, a bunch of quirky creatures and sequences and all very Japanese, it's one of my most favourite films from the studio.

I really love the English dub produced by John Lasseter and I think some of the performances work better in that dub. I also love the few little lines they've added to help clarify things or just to add humour.

And I love the radish spirit.
