One of the finest animated films I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2003)

I was tremendously excited to finally be seeing what all the fuss was about when I rented the fantastical children's animÃ© "Spirited Away". This movie seemed to have virtually unanimous critical praise across the board, and moviegoers all over the globe have truly embraced this modern masterpiece - and for obviously good reason.
Watching the incredible journey of "Spirited Away", I was immediately taken in by its breathtaking layers of animation, endearing characters, and mind-boggling feats of creativity and imagination. Memorable spirits and creatures aside, the film is a colourful, richly-detailed epic with great storytelling. I loved it so much that I simply had to see it again with a family member, who ended up loving it as well. I guess no matter who you are or how old you are, there's something universal in "Spirited Away" that can appeal to anyone, somehow.
Excellent, innovative, touching, and often hilarious. "Spirited Away" is one of the finest animated films I've ever seen.
