OK, these anime movies are a good way to show us why this journey of watching all these movies is a good idea. I really didn’t have any desire to see any of them, but one after the other they are proving to be great movies and definitely worth the watch. Spirited Away is about a young girl who crosses over into a spirit/magical world, so to speak. She ends up working at a bath house where she meets a witch, strange spirits, a huge baby (that is so much better when turned into a mouse) and a dragon. The animation is beautiful and the story is so unique and even though may be hard to follow or understand sometimes, that is actually part of the appeal. It’s fun that it causes us to discuss and interpret what is happening and what we think it means. This movie is directed by the same director that did Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo so please excuse me while I find out what else Hayao Miyazaki has directed so I can check them out.
