Mystical. Enchanting. A
key to another world. There are so many ways to describe this movie.
The movie focuses on a young girl who is trapped in a sort of "spirit
world". When her mother and father are turned into pigs, young Chihiro
has to save her parents before they're cooked and eaten. It may sound
silly, but this tale has more to it than farm animals. When Chihiro is
frightened, she runs off. When a boy finds her, he tells her that she
must get a job at "The Bath House". A sort of retreat for spirits. But
to do this, she must speak with Yubaba. The witch who rules The
Bathhouse. After Yubaba agrees to give Chihiro some work. She takes her
name away from her. And she is then called "Sen". While shes at the bath
house, she is put under very hard work. I could say more, but that
would be foolish of me. This is a great movie that I think people of all
ages should see for themselves. Its an enchanting and heartwarming
story that I've watched over and over again and have never gotten sick
of it. It has been another inspiring movie from Haiyo Miazaki that is
above all his best yet. A 10 out of 10 for this wonderful movie.
