Spirited Away (Japanese, English, DVD)

A remarkable fantasy adventure film quite unlike any other, Spirited Away tells the story of Chihiro, a headstrong 10-year-old girl, unhappy that her family are moving house and that she will have to make new friends.

As they make their way to the new home, Chihiro's father takes a detour to explore mysterious tunnel in the woods. On the other side is what seems to be deserted theme park but is in fact a ghostly town. Unwittingly, they have strayed into the land of the Spirits, a world of dreamlike scenery inhabited by ancient gods and magical beings, ruled over by the sorceress, Yubaba. With her parents help captive and Yubaba set on enslaving them forever, Chihiro must use all her energy to survive in this strange new place. With the help of Haku, a brave young spirit, she is forced to overcome her fears and join an epic battle for her family's freedom.

Winner of the 2003 Oscar for Best Animated Film and the Golden Bear at Berlin, Spirited Away is a visionary work from Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke), which sets the benchmark for all animation to come. The most successful film of all time in its native Japan, it's a thrilling and enchanting adventure for adults and children alike.
