Spirited Away
The Story
Driving to their new house, Chihiro and her parents stop by an interesting old road. After inspecting it for a while, they suddenly find an open-air restaurant in some sort of town. But except for the food, it is totally deserted. Hungry as they are, Chihiro’s parents can’t wait to dig in and start eating all the delicious meals. Chihiro is not so sure they can be eating all of this and wanders off.
When trying to get back to her parents after a while, she finds them turned into dirty eating pigs. And as the night falls, the place is filling up with strange gods and spirits. In her first steps to breaking the spell on her parents, Chihiro has to start working in a bathhouse nearby. But the gods and spirits turn out to be the regular guests over there too.

I have seen this on DVD and I loved this! Excellent artworks!
Of course I love Spirted Away. While my favorite Miyazaki movie is Castle in the Sky, this one is one of his best
Spirited Away is by far one of the best anime flix I’ve ever come across. I’ve know I’ve seen it 6 or 7 times.
@ Shay: I just saw Castle in the Sky last week. It was awesome!
Miyazaki rules!
I haven’t seen this movie as yet, but I’m gunna check it out.
This was definitely a good movie. A little weird on some cases, but I think it’s supposed to be like that!
