Touching and entertaining anime thrill ride

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2002)

I had waited in massive anticipation for this movie. As much as I loved Princess Mononoke, I felt that Hayao Miyazaki could do better. And I was so very right. This movie was beautiful and amazingly done. The dubbing has been some of the best I've seen in his films, and the voices match the characters perfectly. Yet again, Miyazki takes us into a magical world where spirits rule and man is regarded as basically a common animal. It is up to the brave and endearing Chihiro to save her parents in this strange place. I could go on forever about how amazing this movie is, but you should see it for yourself.
