A required viewing for the coming generations

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2013)

Last year, I had the Honor to go and see "The secret world of Arriety" and that was my first Studio Ghibli film, and I loved it. So recently, While looking through the DVDs at the local thrift shop, I came across "Spirited away" and remembered reading about it when I was 12 when it was released over here in North America. I didn't think much of it then. But being that it was a studio Ghibli film and I had developed a love of anime since the 2000's, I spent the 3$ to buy and see this film. Little did I know I had picked up a masterpiece.
Spirited away is about 10 year old Chihiro, a somewhat spoilt brat who is forced to move away from her home to a new home for an unknown reason. Just as her family arrives in the new town, they go off-track and find themselves in a mysterious world after going through a tunnel. At first Chihiro's father thinks it's an abandoned theme park from the 90s, and he and Chihiro's mother find a restaurant and begin eating voraciously, much to Chihiro's dismay, because it's not long after when her parents turn into pigs, Forcing Chihiro to fend for herself. What leads is an adventure in which Chihiro must grow strong in herself and learn how to cope in a strange world.
To say it bluntly, Your life is incomplete until you've sat down and seen this masterpiece of anime. Even John Lasseter, the man behind the toy story movies even says at the beginning of the DVD - "You are lucky. you get to see spirited away." 10/10, This should be required viewing of generations to come.
