Beautiful inks, intense colors!! Great story too.

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2003)

As NPR promised, the story line was good. What they forgot to mention was the stunning animation; the attention to detail was amazing! The background artwork was truly a work of art. This is one of the few times where the movie is better than the book. Seeing Chihiro's diminutive friends animated, provided some comic relief that wasn't so evident in the manga.
