Mini Review: Spirited Away (2001)

Empire's 339th Greatest Movie:
Spirited Away - 7.5/10

The second film I ordered though Lovefilm was Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away (2001), a Japanese animated tale about a girl who becomes trapped in an alternate spirit world after wandering away from her parents. Crafty animation, a creative storyline and a beautiful score, this was a unique film to experience and would be an entertaining treat for all ages. Paying too much attention to the subtitles was quite annoying but can't be helped. Characters Yubaba: ruler of the Spirit world, Haku: Yubaba's apprentice and of course Chihiro herself were standout characters, and so while a little slow st the start for my liking, this mysteriously fantasical film soon impressed, earning 7.5/10.
