Answer 1

I think it is one of Miyazaki's finest. Personally, even without all the praises of the critics, I would still think that "Spirited Away" belongs up there as one of the great animations of all time. It has a quality that appeals to young and old alike. When you look at the film as a whole, you will find out that it actually works on many levels. At the very basic level, you have this children's fairy tale adventure story of ghosts and spirits. When I saw it, I felt like I was reading a well-written children's novel that could have won a Newbery Medal.

And then, it starts to go deep in the second level. We are introduced to interesting and complex characters such as the Witch, the dragon boy Haku and the people who work inside the bathhouse. Each of these characters has a certain complexity, each with a story of its own, but not portrayed in a way that will intimidate younger viewers. The third level delves into Chihiro's road to self discovery and her unraveling of the mystery behind Haku. The way her adventure in the Witch's world unfolded is simply classic storytelling. All three levels are weaved together with great craftmanship by the animators and directorship by Miyazaki that not a moment is ever boring.

Finally at the top level, we have the moral lesson of the story when Chihiro frees Haku from the spell that the Witch cast on him. Actually, this lesson had been in the wings already since the middle of the story when Chihiro pulled the plug of mud off the River god; but it was nice of Miyazaki to reiterate again at the end the importance of loving nature. If ever there was a cartoon that's against global warming and pollution, then this is it. Of course, this is not the only lesson that "Spirited Away" has to offer, it also teaches children what happens when people give in to gluttony. And, there are other lessons as well which can be picked from certain parts of the story.

Answer 2

I absoloutly loved the movie. The picture, the voices, they
were all great. I do agree it has got to be Miyazaki's greatest
movies. It had a great story, pure love. Ah, those two words
make me smile. And all the strange characters in it. It is
sometimes disturbing, hehe, especially when No-Face is
puking, but other than that, I thought it was great. I have got to
say, Haku was my most favorite character of all time.
