Spirited Away
- Director: Hayao Miyazaki
- Based on the novel: no
- Cast: all voices of Japanese actors I don’t know
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in: see above
- Why? I liked it the first time
- Seen: once before, now 13 June 2019
Chihiro and her parents wander through a
mysterious tunnel and come to a mysterious world. The parents fall under an
evil enchantment and Chihiro is alone in a scary nightmare world. A kind boy
Haku helps her and she befriends a workmate Lin, a friendly (maybe) ghost (or
something) and a cranky but generous old guy. This and that happens.
It’s not as good as I remember it but
Chihiro’s feelings are expressively portrayed and there are many colourful
visual effects. There isn’t much of a story and it does ramble on and on but
some of the characters and effects are fun. Kids probably enjoy it if they can
sit still long enough.
