First off, this movie was the first anime type thing I have ever been introduced to. I remember my grandmother going to the library and picking out this movie to bring home to me. Being the little outgoing, observant four year old that I was, I was instantly drawn into the movie. In the eyes of a four year old, the story was like being introduced into a whole new world. I had thought I was watching a revolution before my eyes. Now, 11 years later, I must have watched this movie about a hundred times over, literally. In Spirited Away, what I think I enjoy most, is that all the characters are three dimensional, not just Chihiro and Haku. ANd the art was just incredible. When you are watching it on screen, you really feel drawn into it literally. You can smell the smells, taste the tastes, hear the sounds, etc. It is a cinematic masterpiece. Even now, after watching other Miyazaki (sp?) films, I can sense his trend with his amazing movies, but Spirited Away stands out far from the rest. I give it a ten out of ten. This is STILL my favorite movie to date.
