Spirited Away

I remember seeing this many years ago with my sister, when it first aired on tv. Man, to this day, it's still awesome hearing Jason Marsden voice in it. As Haku I mean! =)

Lilo, Kovu, Zira, Jumba/Cogsworth/many others, Rose Quartz/Megara, Twilight Sparkle/Melody, The Thing and Hamm/Mack/Abominable Snowman/too many to count in a bathhouse

this is like one big round-up of Disney talent isn't it

currently watching this right now, very cool - what have I been missing out on all my life

also it's fun to try and pinpoint which characters the additional voices did - right now, I'm sure I heard Jim Ward as one of the frog people and Rodger Bumpass as the Foreman, and I'm sure it's obvious who the cleaning girls are voiced by

"Spirited Away" is indeed deserving of the Oscar it won and notable for getting Western audiences interested in the genius that is Mr. Miyazaki. I do respect this movie for that reason, and I do recommend it. But on the other hand, it's also one of my least favorite Miyazaki movies.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie and is undeniably beautiful to look at. But I sometimes found Chihiro a bit too overwhelming (partially due to Daveigh Chase's sometimes grating performance -- the only weak link in Disney's otherwise fine dub -- although really you can't go wrong with any of the Disney-Ghibli dubs -- they are, regardless of what anyone might tell you, some of the best in business, at least in my opinion). That said, Miyazaki still employs enough interesting bits of artistry and symbolism to counter for that. The episodes involving the "Stink Spirit" and No Face, in particular, are rich in their meaning.

This was my first Ghibli film in the early 2000s, it was cool, had a lot of mythologies and this really nice inn

A friend of mine shared the movie on Facebook, and as I was watching it I thought Lin sounded a lot like Meg from Disney's Hercules, and crazy enough, I was right

Ayyy Chester & Lilo are in a movie together.

Finally saw this two weeks back, and it's one of the best animated films I've ever seen. To think this is only my first from Miyazaki. Also, apparently Lilo and Jumba encountered each other twice in the same year.

great film!!

The only way to describe this film- no, masterpiece- is through the words of Mary Poppins.

"Practically perfect in every way."

You want to hear something interesting? I actually watched this film with my English class a long time ago when I was in the 6th grade. The assignment was to write a movie review, and I personally couldn't thank my English teacher enough for showcasing this. This film has that good old-fashioned Miyazaki heart to it.

Excellent movie. I love it. I absolutely love it!
