A Master Acheivement in Animation, and One of the Best Films of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2019)

As you probably know by now, Spirited Away stands the test of time as one of the most influential animated films in modern cinema, and is seen by many as a classic. There isn't too much to be said about this movie that hasn't been said.
Of course, the plot starts with a young girl named Chihiro, who wanders into a secret world ruled by spirits, beasts, and witches, and gets separated from her parents, and must go through a variety of events in order to return home.
Hayao Miyazaki is a master of his work, creating some of the most beautiful and mesmerizing shots put to anime, with an incredible score, while establishing a plot that both children and adults can enjoy and be able to follow. All while the voice acting in both the original and English dub are both pretty great.
Another thing I wanted to note is the impact this movie has had since it's release. It's influence has caused Disney to help get the film released in the United States, as well as being the only Anime film to ever win an Oscar to this day. I was lucky enough to see the film today in theaters, and 18 years later, this film is STILL selling out theaters, and causing the audience to laugh and cry. It is that impactful. The film has truly stands the test of time, and is one of my favorite movies of all time.
