A Must See

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2014)

This was one of the very first Miyazaki films I had ever seen, and I was blown away by it. It shows everything that is perfect about this type of film. It has action and adventure, but it's also not overly complicated. Miyazaki creates a film that illustrates the true meaning of friendship and knowing oneself. The characters are well developed as is the storyline, and I believe that it's definitely a movie to be watched by child and adult, alike.
It's a great fantastical story of a young girl, Chihiro who moves with her parents to a new city. While on their way, they take a detour that leads them to an ancient area. Through twists and turns, she is thrown into a world very much unlike her own. She finds friendship in a few unlikely people and learns the value of hard work.
