From one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema comes the most acclaimed film of 2002. Hayao Miyazaki's latest triumph, filled with astonishing animation and epic adventure, is a dazzling masterpiece for the ages. It's a 'wonderfully welcoming work of art that's as funny and entertaining as it is brilliant, beautiful, and deep' (Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal). SPIRITED AWAY is a wondrous fantasy about a young girl, Chihiro, trapped in a strange new world of spirits. When her parents undergo a mysterious transformation, she must call upon the courage she never knew she had to free herself and return her family to the outside world. An unforgettable story brimming with creativity, SPIRITED AWAY will take you on a journey beyond your imagination. 'To enter the world of Hayao Miyazaki is to experience a kind of lighthearted enchantment that is unique to the world of animation' (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). It's a fantastic tale the whole family will want to experience over and over again.
