Spirited Away - 2001 Review

I loved this movie.  The visual art is stunning, and the stoyline is so refreshing, so full, that I want to go buy this movie.  I ordered it via netflix on a whim, and am so happy I did!  If you are wondering if this movie would be enjoyable, ask yourself, "Do I want to be entertained?  Do I want to fall in love with imaginary characters?  Am I willing to put off doing anything else for the next two hours?"  Then get it.

Spirited Away (Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away) is a 2001 Japanese anime film written and directed by famed animator Hayao Miyazaki.  It starts with a 10 year old girl, Chihiro, who is having to move with her family to the suburbs.  On the way they encounter a passage into a realm where the spirits of our reality go to be refreshed. 

Her adventurs there are exciting to watch, and once you start it's almost impossible to stop.  I highly recomend this feature film.
