Summary: Anime of anime
Review: I loved this movie as well as Princess Mononoke. I was surprised Disney even decided to help bring it to the US. Spirited Away was so much more mature than most, perhaps all, of the animation made in the US. The plot was well done, the animation outstanding, and the music was beautifully written. There was only one thing that bugs me and it is with the fact that many people thought that Disney wrote, produced and animated this movie, when they are only presenting it to American audiences. All the work was done without thier aid, and it shows. I fear that if they really had a hand in this movie that if would be suitable only for three year olds (i.e. way too fluffy, cute, innocent and driving everyone above tens years of age nuts).

Summary: Miyazki's Newest Classic
Review: First of all I would like to add my own spite for Disney's handling of this film! If they had put even HALF of the promotion behind Spirited Away that they did for their own poor quality films such as Lilo and Stich, then they could have made hundreds of millions off of this films! BIG mistake Disney!

Anyway, this is one of the greatest films of all times! The characters are full of life and emotions, which is rare to see in an animated film. The artwork is flawless and beautiful and it has the most original story concepts of any movie from the past 50 years. I cannot emphasize how great this movie is. If you are a fan of classic films such as Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz then you will absolutely love this movie. This movie is a classic that will be enjoyed my children and adults. I also recommend checking out Miyzaki's (the directors) earlier works such as Princess Mononoke and Castle in the Sky!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: I think this movie is great. I suggest everyone to buy it. I assure you that you'll really enjoy watching this movie. The animation is really good and plot is wonderful. At first I didn't think it would be all that great but I gave it a try. You should do the same and you'll see how great it is.

Summary: mmmm....where was I ???
Review: I am not a big fan of anime movies.....I do not know much of the director or the makers of this film.
What I can clearly tell you about this film is that...when I left the theatre....I had to ask myself....
mmmm......where was I for the past couple of hours?
It could have been my mood that day....but I doubt it.....
I usually walk out on boring movies.....and sleep through the ones that make you think too much... (you know which ones I am talking about...)
But spirited away literally took me away... I watched as my spirit was right there in that strange land with those strange characters...it almost felt like one of those very vivid and strange dreams you have as a child when you eat too much chocolate before bedtime...
Am I making any sense here ? What I'm trying to say is:
SPIRITED AWAY IS AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY(and/or)DREAM
:::::especially for those who miss having a child's imagination.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent movie.
Review: I went to see this in the theater with my teenage dughter and we both loved the movie. Princess Mononoke was my first exposure to anime, and in my opinion, Spirited Away far surpasses that movie.The animation is exquisite, with beautiful colors and motion. It absolutely carries you away to another realm. The plot is not difficult to follow, and the characters are all so memorable, it's hard to single out just one. I especially appoved of the voice-casting, as Princess Mononoke had some jarring problems with voice/character connection. I was surprised to read Suzanne Pleshette's name in the credits, as well as some of the others; they had done such a wonderful job of inhabiting their roles. This movie was made to be aimed at 10 year olds, but it does not shrink away from mature ideas and values. Some parts might be scary to American youngsters, but it wins my approval for ages 10 and up. I can't wait for the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lived up to the promise
Review: I loved this movie--trippy characters, high adventure, beautifully rendered. I've never seen any of this Miyazaki guy's other stuff and am not a big anime fan (I still don't get Akira after seeing it endlessly replayed on cable a few years ago), but this was awesome.

How could you not like the wacky tale of a girl whose parents are turned to pigs and is forced to work for an evil Granny in a bathhouse (brothel?) for the gods?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spirited Away
Review: This movie is a great Japanese anime and will make u wish u were their with them. Its about a girl who is moving to a new town and really does not want to move. (She has a thing about getting flowers... no importance really but i thought it was cool.)
When she and he parents get lost and go through a tunnel her life takes a derastic change and she learns important virtues, Courage and many more.
Everyone should see it!!

Summary: First anime movie I saw and set the bar for many to come!
Review: on the whole, I'd like to rate it a 95 out of 100, because the only drawbacks were: the fathers character, no interior of their house... and ummmm well... ok so a 98 i just like rounding, number 1 in my book, i am getting the japanese version now and english on my birthday if it is out then. The best thing, other than the comedy, is the fact that there are 2 very distinct halves that could be movies on their own, but i am happy we didn't have to wait for a sequal. What can I say, but just sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie for what it is (perfect) even if you have something against anime movies you will still love this movie, and a tip for kids who want to get it... Say that you heard it was a funny movie fit for all ages, 'cuz thats what it is!!!!! Hayao, don't stop now!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
