Great movie that develops characters

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2008)

I loved this movie when I saw it. The characters in this film mature a lot, especially Chihiro. When this movie first starts, Chihoro is a spoiled brat who only cares about herself. When her parents turn into pigs, she is alone and has to fend for herself. She goes to work in a bathhouse for spirits in hopes of convincing her boss to free her parents. At first she does a bad job, even her supervisor asked her if she ever worked a day in her life. After her first successful job with the river spirit, she gains a lot of self-confidence and is respected from the other employees. During her adventures, she saves 3 other employees from a lonely spirit and eventually frees a forgotten childhood friend. She makes a lot of friends and eventually frees her parents. By the end, Chihiro changes from a spoiled brat to a mature woman.
