Spirited Away is an animated movie following the journey of Chihiro ( aged 10 ) who gets lost in a spiritual world. She is helped by Haku, who gives her a pill that keeps her in her human form. Chihiro must find work in the spiritual world before she becomes a spirit herself.. Her parents have been turned into pigs and the only way that she can save them is if she remembers who they are before their minds become used to being pigs.
The way that Miyazaki animates this film is very unique. Most animated films have little detail in them visually, but Spirited away is an exception. Every character, place, and scene is animated to the smallest detail. The animations are nearly life-like and the spiritual twist to the movie makes it a must to watch.
The plot seems simple to understand, but the longer you watch, the more complicated it gets. There are many themes hidden inside the movie which include greed, loneliness and many more.
Studio Ghibli is the company that created and animated this movie. They have also made many other heart-warming movies like Ponyo, my neighbour Totoro, and the red turtle. Studio Ghibli creates unique characters , all with different personalities.
