Amazing Movie...

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2003)

I have been seeing trailers for this DVD for about the past week now and I had to buy it... I love cartoons and kids movies and this is hands down one of the best I've been privileged to watch...I am certainly not a fan of Animes and I don't really understand what compelled me to see this film...the beginning of the movie may start slow but the story gets much more imaginative and satisfying as it goes on... the cartoons that have been being released like Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet have just not revealed anything to me that might make me want to see them... Spirited Away was definitely different!
I am known to buy movies before watching them and then just liking them because I bought them, and many people might say that about this one, that is if they haven't seen it. Anyone who would just forget this is a cartoon and sits down to view an amazing story about a young girl whose whiney attitude changes dramatically and she is forced to grow up and be more courageous than she has ever had to be. The magical world of spirits that young Chihiro (Sen) is now trapped proved to be very satisfying for the eyes as well as imagination. No one could possibly claim this movie sucks because that is simply impossible... I will never forget this tale and I am happy I didn't pay attention to the laughs of my friend as I went up to buy a cartoon. I just hope Miyazaki's other films prove to be as astonishing as Spirited Away. I proudly give Spirited Away a 10/10!
