Product Review
Spirited Away is a film directed by renowned anime director Hayao Miyazaki. This was a critically acclaimed film, and even won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.
This coming-of-age story revolves around a spoiled 10-year-old girl named Chihiro. She is unhappy about having to move to a new home and going to a new school. While heading to their new home, the family takes a detour and end up in another world, one that is populated by spirits. Chihiro's parents are turned into pigs, and she must find a way to survive in that world until she can rescue her parents. This is a very well-done story, and the animation is simply exquisite.
This DVD release includes a documentary about the film, the Nippon television special about the making of the film, a storyboard-to-scene comparison, a short documentary about dubbing in the English voices, and a collection of the original Japanese trailers for the film.
Spirited Away is an anime masterpiece, and it will definitely continue to be an anime classic well into the future.
