Spirited Away (full feature)

(2001) Originally known in Japan as Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, is an Academy Award winning (for Best Animated Feature) film by the Japanese anime Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Its original Japanese title can be translated as The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro,Sen and the Spiriting Away of Chihiro, or Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away.
In the middle of her family's move to the suburbs, a sullen 10-year-old girl (Chihiro) wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monsters; where humans, including her family, are changed into animals. Chihiro must find help in this new world,find a way to save her parents, and find her way home.

Despite the Shinto belief in the sacredness of all elements of nature and the existence of nature spirits for things like mountains and rivers, Japan followed quickly in the footsteps of nations like the U.S. in becoming a highly industrialised nation, to the detriment of its forests and rivers.

The message of the struggle of the spirit of the land to exist despite the overwhelming misuse of humans is integral to both this and other Miyazaki films like Tonari no totoro. Fantastic films, both, with a great environmental message.
