Having broken box-office records and added an Oscar to its share of Berlin's Golden Bear, this animated fantasy adventure about a sulky girl who learns the importance of being true to one's self has become an instant Japanimation classic. It contains echoes of Alice in Wonderland that are reinforced by the gallery of rogues and grotesques that resourceful heroine Chihiro encounters after she's trapped inside a fantasy world ruled by twin witches. Director Hayao Miyazaki's insistence on hand-drawn graphics gives the CGI visuals an ethereal charm that ensures the story is always a pleasure to behold, even during its rare moments of inaction.

Beautifully Drawn Animation
The single most impressive thing about this Japanese animation is that it is a wonderful hand drawn work of art. You have to go right back to the Disney animations of the 1940's and 50's to see anything this well crafted. And unlike American animations, the characters feel real and the Japanese work ethic shines all the way through. Whether young children will enjoy it as much as the Hollywood movies, I doubt. But as an adult, I adored it.
