Spirited Away (UK)

I first saw this subtitled, in the original Japanese. I was blown away by the attention to detail, the humourous touches in the characterisations and the story. Miyazaki creates a tale that is fantastic, yet touches the real world, that appeals to the child, and to the child in an adult. This film truly reaches all age groups equally, without compromising its appeal. Since watching this, I have voraciously viewed as much Project Ghibli as possible. This film truly shows Disney how to do family friendly animation. Is it any coincidence that Disney is releasing Miyazaki-san`s next film, The Cat Returns? Think I will visit our local uni film theatre and catch the original dialogue though. Remove your prejudices, watch this film and love it.
