Whether or not you're a fan of anime, I guarantee you'll enjoy and love this movie.
It's a story of a young girl, who grows mentally into a young woman, filled with courage and kindness.
She travels with her parents to a new town, and on the way there, they find a shortcut, which leads them to a tunnel and an "abandoned theme park". This "theme park" is actually a gateway to the spirit world. Chihiro's (the protagonist) parents come across a deserted town, and while finding themselves starving, treat themselves to a huge sumptuous meal. As a result, they were turned into pigs.
Chihiro meets a boy named Haku (who's actually a spirit of a river), who helps her to get a job at the bathhouse which allows her to live there, whilst trying to find a way to save her parents.
One day, she meets a monster called No-Face. He's obsessed with Chihiro and tries to win her favour. He seems to reflect the personalities of spirits he's surrounded by, and that's the reason why he was so dangerous in the bathhouse as he was surrounded by greedy and not-so-good spirits. Later on he actually becomes a nice person, well I mean, a nice spirit who is no longer dangerous.
In the end, Chihiro finds a way to save her parents, and even helps her friend Haku escape from the clutches of Yubaba, the evil witch who runs the bathhouse.
This movie is simply amazing. The adjectives in the English dictionary, although vast, can by no means express the simplicity and awesomeness of this movie. This is truly one of the best anime films I've ever seen, and is loved by all, young and old.
All I can say is, watching this won't be a waste of your time.
