Winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Hayao Miyazaki's wondrous fantasy adventure is a dazzling masterpiece from one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animation. Chihiro's family is moving to a new house, but when they stop on the way to explore an abandoned village, her parents undergo a mysterious transformation and Chihiro is whisked into a world of fantastic spirits ruled over by the sorceress Yubaba. Put to work in a magical bathhouse for spirits and demons, Chihiro must use all her wits to survive in this strange new place, find a way to free her parents and return to the normal world. Overflowing with imaginative creatures and thrilling storytelling, Spirited Away became a worldwide smash hit, and is one of the most critically-acclaimed films of all time.

Excellent boxed set
If you like anime, this is one of the classics from Studio Ghibli. It has the soundtrack, movie and booklet of the film. A great value.

An incredible adventure
''Spirited Away'' is an incredible adventure set in Japan: it's a direct descendant of Japanese traditions but it's also a story that can be applied today which means at the same time we can gain a new understanding of what it means to be the residents of Japan. Miyazaki realized that in this borderless age a man without history or people that forgot their past will have no choice but to disappear or to lay eggs endlessly as a hen and consumed so he made this movie in which the heroine is thrown into a place where the good and the bad dwell together and there she experiences the world. Chihiro learns about friendship and devotion and survives using her brain in fact she sees herself through the crisis, avoids danger and gets herself back to the real world not because she destroys the evil but because she acquires the ability to survive. In everyday life it's difficult for people to feel that they survive in the world and when they encounter a crisis most of them panic and are eaten up. On the contrary, Chihiro is strong enough not to be eaten up and that is why she is a heroine in a world where words are power while nowadays words are thought to be light, unimportant and no more than the reflection of a vacuous reality. It's still true that words can be powerful but powerless words are proliferating unnecessarily in the 21st century. Miyazaki makes us remember that our words are our will, ourselves and our power.
