One of the greatest animation movies i've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2009)

First of all, i would like to say that this is one of the greatest animation movies i have ever seen. In fact, it is on of the greatest movies i have ever see, period. This movie transcends age or time and i think it can be enjoyed by all age groups alike. The movie has an Alice in Wonderland like quality and it gets the viewer lost inside the parallel universe that it so effortlessly creates. The viewer is forced to feel all the pains felt by Chihiro and also cheer for every little victory that comes her way.
The underlying theme in the film is that love conquers all and the unconditional and pure love between Chihiro and Haku is portrayed very beautifully.
The colors and the landscapes used in the movie are beautiful as in all Japanese cinema and easily beats the Hollywood animation used these days.
This is the first movie of Hayao Miyazaki that i have seen, and i am sure to see many more.
