My Word, What a Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2004)

My wife, myself and my eldest son sat and watched this movie after buying it on DVD (after a recommendation from a friend). What an absolute joy to watch. The animation is fantastic - the colours and artistry left us beguiled and soothed. The story and characters are rewarding and at no point are you spoon fed nor are you left with a feeling of being "dumbed down".
I quite like animation but it wasn't until I was introduced to Studio Gibili that I really appreciated its true worth. People talk about about Disney etc but Spirited Away is truly magical and rewards repeated, and I mean repeated viewing.
