You don't have to be a child to feel awe over Spirited Away!

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2014)

Beautiful creatures and monsters fill the screen in bright colours, even if the story isn't to your taste the animation is cute and creative. The first Ghibli movie I ever saw was Howl's Moving Castle and I had never seen anything like it, with a childhood mostly made up of Disney animation how could I? I think most people will fall in love with Studio Ghibli at first watch.
I will never know how it will feel to watch Spirited Away as a child, unfortunately, but as an adult it still encapsulates feelings of wonder, adventure, scariness and awe. I must also add that the score by Joe Hisaishi is as equally beautiful as the animation, with track Dragon Boy being the most inspiring artistically.
