While it packs more imagination into one movie than ten Disney cartoons, it feels a little aimless and meandering, in search of a decent storyline to go along with the madcap creations. SPIRITED AWAY is a well-regarded Studio Ghibli animation about a young girl's adventures in a fantastic netherworld filled with all manner of strange and terrifying creations.
Overall, I loved Spirited Away, it is really charming. Jason Marsden is charming as Haku, and Suzanne Pleshette is perfect as the grotesque Yubaba and as her sister Zeniba. Lin is kind and sympathetic, and Susan Egan who was also in Porco Rosso was unusually sensitive as the character. Chihiro, voiced with real enthusiasm by Daveigh Chase, is sulky to begin with, but she is also brave and resourceful, traits I like in young heroines. The story is a pleasure, I know people have complained of some loose ends, but it is an original, touching and charming one I feel. The music is also outstanding, I loved the simplicity of the piano and the drama of the more dramatic parts. The characters move more than convincingly and the colours are beautiful. The animation is absolutely stunning, both the hand drawn visuals and the CGI graphics give an ethereal charm to the film. Spirited Away is a mystical, charming and truly enchanting animated fantasy, even with the long length and some slow moments. This is coming from someone who was delighted by Howl's Moving Castle, blown away by Princess Mononoke, emotionally devastated by Grave of the Fireflies and touched by the simplicity of The Cat Returns all but to name a few. I love Studio Ghibli, and Spirited Away is one of my favourite films from the studio.

So, for adults and those unfamiliar with the medium, this movie might take a bit of effort to fully enjoy, though with more and more children being familiar with and loving anime, it's very likely your kids will love it and will then be able to explain it to you!! As for the film, the animation is the best I have seen in any Miyazaki film, the story deep and fascinating and it's full of cute and endearing little touches that make the movie magical. Now, several years after I first saw it in the theater, I have seen a lot more Japanese anime and films and it's practically second-nature to follow the film. I know that each time I did, the film became more and more enjoyable and I began to notice so many cultural references. See it, but be willing to see it without trying to think out the odd plot too much or even try seeing it several times. And this may be exactly how you might want to approach the film unless you already are a die-hard anime fan.
Interestingly, when I saw the film again, I understood it much better and appreciated it much more. Now this isn't to say I didn't like it, but so many times I just couldn't understand exactly what was happening. Yet, with my background I still felt pretty confused and baffled by the strangeness of this movie.
In addition, unlike many parents, I have seen a lot of anime that my kids have watched so at least I have some familiarity with the medium. I have seen many international films over the years and quite a few of these were Japanese.
