Parental Warning: The MPA rating is PG.  Supernatural themes and some creature violence (like people getting eaten) are present in this film.  It may be too creepy for children under 10.
Rating: Solid Review by: Mark Capitelli
Acclaimed Anime filmmaker Harao Miyazaki's Oscar-winning work Spirited Away is a story about a little girl who is forced to grow up and stop being a whiney brat after her stupid parents (who manage to be even more annoying than their daughter) get themselves turned into pigs.
What ensues is a bizarre tale liken to Alice in Wonderland.  The little girl, Sen, has to get a job in a supernatural bathhouse working for a witch.  It starts out weird and it just gets weirder.  I'm used to bizarre Anime, but only when it has beauty, a good plot, and creativity backing it up.  This film had two-out-of-three.

It was beautifully animated, and had creative, imaginative characters and situations.  It did not, however, have a plot that made it worthy of some of Miyazaki's other works like Princess Mononoke.

Don't get me wrong, I like "out-there" Anime, but frankly this bored me.  I can't recommend it to the average movie-goer.  I would say if you wanted to watch something with your kids that isn't as insipid as the average kids film, this is a good idea.  I would also recommend it to Anime fans who appreciate the artistry more than any other aspect of Anime.

I'm glad I saw it, but I don't expect to ever see it again.
