Marvelous,Magical,Miyazaki!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2002)

Bit of a spoiler
Miyazaki at his best again. A wonderful tail of supernatural bath time and a ten-year old girl (Chihiro). Chihiro's parents after stuffing them self 's silly in a mysterious dilapidated theme park food bar get turned into pigs. But by night The Park is transformed into your typical Japanese Supernatural bathhouse. Run by A big headed witch (literally) . As luck would have it Chihiro finds a prince charming with a prince Valiant hair cut, Haku. Chihiro must get work in the bath house (what no social workers in the Spirit world), to save her parents and find out the connection between herself and the mysterious Haku.

Technically Superb and visually stunning but best of all it has a wonderful story line full of Japanese myths and sentiment, with a this a jigger of Fairy tale and a pinch of Lewis Carol. Seasoned with Anime references and characters from other Miyazaki films. Like the Mak-Kuro KuroSuke Soot spiders(from Totoro). A rich but light a recipe to delight your cinematic taste buds confirming Miyazaki as the Delia Smith of the film World. This film can be enjoyed by all but the youngest children. It's a Pity Disney still hasn't learned the Miyazaki lesson yet, namely you can make a family Animation that's doesn't have a simple over sentimental formulaic story line that will bore most adults stupid.
In Summary I Love Miyazaki I have his Children but I'm a bloke this is one of his best 10/10 see this film and don't eat in a theme Park.
