Spirited Away	comment	Originally, Princess Mononoke was meant to be Hayao Miyazaki's swan song, but much to the delight of the anime world, he returned with a film that managed to top Princess Mononoke's staggering box-office numbers. This film, Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting-Away), is a symbolic and folkloric adventure film about a girl who enters the world of spirits. Comparable to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, she has to navigate a place that adheres only to its own odd rules if she wishes to leave safely.Chihiro Ogino (Rumi Hiiragi), a sullen young girl unwillingly moving to a new town, is stranded in the spirit world after her parents (Takeshi Naito and Yasuko Sawaguchi) stop by what appears to be an abandoned town and eat food that turns them into pigs. At first, her only aid is Haku (Miyu Irino), a mysterious boy who finds her shelter and a job in a bathhouse that caters to these spirits. Eventually, Chihiro makes more friends as she searches for a way to make her parents human again and escape the spirit world before she forgets her real identity. And that's all just within the first 30(ish)-minutes of the movie—and that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the odd denizens of the spirit world, ranging from the villainous bathhouse managing witch Yubaba (Mari Natsuki) to arachnid worker Kamajii (Bunta Sugawara) to the enigmatic, near-voiceless spirit No-Face (Akio Nakamura).The film also stars Tsunehiko Kamijo as Chichiyaku and Takehiko Ono as the Aniyaku.Spirited Away was released in its home country on July 20, 2001, and an English dub conducted by Disney came to the United States on September 20, 2002.The film was an immediate hit in both Japan and America, and was the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time for almost two decades, grossing a total of 31.68 billion yen ($304.2 million), until it was topped by Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba â€“ The Movie: Mugen Train in 2020. It also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, making it the first traditionally animated film, anime film, and non-English-language animated film to do so. This victory was especially noteworthy as the Oscars tend to favor CGI and/or American productions. It would hold the record of being the only anime film to win the Oscar in that category until Miyazaki won again for 2023â€™s The Boy and the Heron.In 2019, Spirited Away was granted a re-release in Chinese theaters, and managed to outgross the opening box office of the then-newly-released Toy Story 4, even with it being an 18-year-old film at the time.A 2022 Screen-to-Stage Adaptation premiered in Tokyo, under the direction of English stage director John Caird. It is notably the third Ghibli film to receive a stage adaptation, following Kiki's Delivery Service and Princess Mononoke. It was released theatrically in North America on April 23-27 by GKIDS (the current North American distributor of Studio Ghibli's library).Not to be confused with the Australian TV show Spirited, the 1974 film Swept Away, that film's 2002 remake/Madonna vehicle, the 2012 fanfic, or the DreamWorks film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

Spirited Away / int_22071825	comment	You can't tell in English, but Chihiro's parents really should know better than to eat in an "empty town" where the signs advertise such foods as "dog" and "eyeball". But even for someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese, it isn't hard to tell that there's something very strange about the situation the Oginos find themselves in. Possibly downplayed in that it's not unlikely the food itself is enchanted to be especially enticing despite the strange circumstances its found in.

Kamaji is initially brusque with her, but becomes much warmer when she proves herself to him. Lin first sees her as a burden at best, but eventually becomes very protective of her. Chihiro leaves No-Face in a better place than she found him, and inspires Boh to become more independent, which plants the seeds for his and Yubaba's relationship to improve. In hindsight, she even seems to have this effect on Haku. When she asks Lin about him, she describes him as cold and untrustworthy; one can infer that he was like that, but seeing Chihiro again inspires him to be more open.

In either case, it's implied that Chihiro won't be able to go back to see Haku or any of the other friends she made during her trials before her own life comes to an end.

Spirited Away / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: All over the place. Before the story even begins, the original Japanese title highlights the names: Sen and Chihiro. Chihiro is the titular heroine, and she shares her name with the real little girl upon whom Miyazaki based the character. Chihiro can be translated as "a thousand fathoms" or "ask a thousand questions". Several characters of Chihiro's name are taken by Yubaba, so that all that's left is the generic name Sen, which means only "a thousand." Chihiro's name has essentially been replaced with a number, and she can only hope to break free by keeping herself from forgetting her full name. The movie's original Japanese title itself highlights this idea: Sen to Chihiro, or Sen and Chihiro— two names, two different people. Haku's full name is Nigihayami Kohakunushi. The literal translation of which is: white dragon. Yubaba's name means bath crone. Fitting for a witchy proprietor of a bathhouse. Kamaji's name means either boiler geezer, or kettle geezer. He mans the boiler of the baths with only the help of the soot spirits, and Chihiro sees him drink straight from the spout of a kettle. Zeniba's name is a play on Yubaba's, as it can refer to both money or public baths. No-Face is a featureless black spirit that literally has no face, only a mask to represent one. Coincidentally, this sounds exactly like Noh-face, which suits the mask he wears perfectly.

Spirited Away / int_73733868	comment	Awesomeness by Analysis: It's incredibly subtle and thus easy to miss in the Japanese dub (and outright unintentionally undercut in the English dub) but Chihiro seems to be gifted with incredible insight: While both her parents find nothing too strange about the abandoned town the family stumbles across, Chihiro never drops her rightful apprehension. Even though she never directly sees him transform she correctly guesses that the dragon being attacked by paper people is Haku. After Boh has been turned into a mouse she seems genuinely surprised that Yubaba doesn't recognize him. Flying with Haku, she recognizes the sensation and it triggers a memory of falling into a river when she was much younger, which in turn triggers the memory of his full name. And finally, when she's confronted with Yubaba's final test, she's able to recognize that none of the pigs in the pen she's presented with are her parents.

Spirited Away / int_738d1a0f	comment	Because You Were Nice to Me: Word of God states that this is the reason No-Face, after she lets him into the bathhouse, follows Chihiro around and keeps trying to offer her things—such as the bath tokens and gold—when he meets up with her again later. It's also implied that this is why Kamaji is willing to help Chihiro out so much—she saves a Soot Spirit that is crushed under the weight of his coal and finishes the job for him, proving that she is both kindhearted and willing to do the necessary work. Likewise, Chihiro does all she can to serve the stink spirit: she uses the tokens that No-Face procures for her, spots the thorn in his side, and then shouts for everyone to help, leading a Chain of People to pull it out with a rope. This cleanses the spirit of a veritable mountain of junk, revealing him to be a formerly polluted river kami. In return, the kami acknowledges her with a "Well done," and rewards her with a medicinal cake that becomes absolutely instrumental later.

Chihiro notices No-Face out in the rain and let's him into the bathhouse. He proceeds to prey on the workers' greed, swallow one of them whole and, after Chihiro rejects the pile of gold that he offers her, initiate a volatile and destructive rampage. Played with ultimately averted. This trope initially appears to be in play when Chihiro reveals Haku's true name to him while he's a dragon and she's riding on his back. The shock causes him to revert to human form, and the kids tumble through the air together. But he's still a spirit with magic no matter the form he takes, so the two of them are fine.

She's proven correct when its Muck Monster body is revealed to be an outer-shell for a dragon-like river kami. This makes sense in hindsight, as she'd encountered a very similar spirit at least once before: Haku.

When Chihiro goes to find her parents, she finds they've been turned into pigs, the lanterns are lighting one by one, strange spirits are arriving from everywhere, and the dry riverbed her family crossed is now an impassable river. The poor girl goes from exploring an abandoned city with her family to being trapped in a strange and dangerous magical world in the span of minutes. During the river kami scene, it goes from comical to awesome when Chihiro realizes he has what appears to be a thorn stuck in his side that needs to be removed. When it is, a torrent of garbage gushes out, revealing a wizened smiling face that gives Chihiro his thanks before rewarding her.

But Chihiro is still generally weirded out by the area, and refuses to partake out of uneasiness. However, Chihiro's parents both expect there to be a vendor nearby, and are explicitly happy to pay whatever's required for the meal. As for Chihiro, she is cautious and nervous in this scene, but no more so than she is at any other point in the movie, whether alone or with people.

But even for someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese, it isn't hard to tell that there's something very strange about the situation the Oginos find themselves in. Possibly downplayed in that it's not unlikely the food itself is enchanted to be especially enticing despite the strange circumstances its found in. Most of the bathhouse employees who cheerfully serve No-Face without even questioning where he's from, even though he just pops up in the middle of the night and mysteriously speaks with the voice of another employee. Yubaba later curses their stupidity over letting No-Face in, suggesting that they ought to have recognized the threat he potentially posed. Downplayed in that Yubaba is established to be incredibly greedy and less than generous with her employees' paychecks, hence the frog worker Aogaeru trying to pry up bits of gold from the floorboards after everyone else is asleep, which is when he becomes [[No-Face's first victim]].

However, though the film is filled with aforementioned fantastical happenings and it flirts with both fairy tale and dream logic throughout, the plot is fairly straight forward for all that: after becoming stranded in an unfamiliar and dangerous world, a young girl must come up with a way to rescue her parents and find a way home.

Although Kamaji doesn't need Chihiro's help himself, he does see her pluck and spirit, so he bribes Lin into taking Chihiro to ask Yubaba directly for a job. Later on, he helps her when she and Haku fall into the boiler room and Haku is suffering from heavy external and internal bleeding. Despite being a significantly unsympathetic antagonist, Yubaba turns out to be somewhat reasonable. Even though she very obviously doesn't want to, she keeps to her word and gives Chihiro a job when she refuses to be dissuaded. Later, when she's just as visibly affected by the stink spirit's stench as the other workers are, she snaps at Chihiro to, like her, keep her hands away from her nose so as not to be rude. And when Chihiro discovers that something is wrong with the guest, Yubaba orders all the bathhouse employees to help Chihiro pull out the "thorn" that she finds, resulting in the spirit's cleansing, and his rewarding the bathhouse with piles of gold. Upon this success, Yubaba is honest and effusive in her praise, hugging Chihiro, gushing about how much money she made and telling her other employees that they could learn a thing or two from her. At the end, she agrees with Haku to give Chihiro one last test to earn her and her parents' freedom back, and honors her word when Chihiro passes it with flying colors.

Spirited Away / int_df4b69d6	comment	Uncomfortable Elevator Moment: There's a hilarious scene in which Lin smuggles Chihiro aboard the bathhouse's upper elevator, where she winds up stuck with an elephantine radish spirit that takes up most of it. Humans have been established as being not welcome in the bathhouse, so she's bracing for the worst while ineffectually trying to remain unnoticed. Luckily, the radish spirit is either kindly enough, mischievous enough, or apathetic enough to not call anybody's attention to her.

Spirited Away / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: All the bathhouse workers are animal spirits. The frog spirits are particularly common, and easy to identify by their upturned lips and wide, wide-set eyes. The yuna, (literally: hot water women) are the spirits of slugs and snakes, hence their longer faces. Lin is a fox spirit who has a knack for nabbing food and avoiding getting in trouble. Yubaba can turn into a giant corvid, a family of birds that has a reputation for being cunning, ominous omens of death and destruction. As corvids can prey on the dead, Yubaba takes advantage of people in the spirit world by stealing their names and enslaving them to her for as long as they are unable to remember their full names. The six-armed Kamaji, with his fuzzy mustache and black sunglasses, is reminiscent of a spider, and takes inspiration from a tsuchigumo, a spider Yōkai.

Haku tries to warn Chihiro away from the spirit world before night falls, ensures that she doesn't disappear when she doesn't get away in time, sets her up with Lin and Kamaji who, despite their rough edges, come to care about and root for her, rescues her clothes and name, and generally supports her at every turn. Chihiro gives him half the medicine she earned while he's suffering under Zeniba's curse, allowing him to recover and follow after her. When they meet again at the climax and are flying back to the bathhouse, she remembers that they've met once before, and is able to give him back his real, full name, freeing him from Yubaba's service. Meanwhile, Chihiro proves herself to Kamaji, shows kindness to No-Face, discovers what's truly ailing the stink spirit and cleanses him of it, and defends Haku when he is attacked by Zeniba's paper birds. In turn, Kamaji gives her the train ticket that let's her return Zeniba's seal and free Haku from her retribution, half of the medicine she's given helps Haku recover, her kindness to No-Face let's her get close enough to him to give him the other half of the medicine and wind down his rampage, and when Yubaba is so furious with her that she's about ready to slaughter the Oginos for bacon, Haku points out that her son is missing and bargains for Chihiro and her family's freedom.

Both are older women who have grotesquely gigantic heads, both are dismissive and bad tempered, both care immensely (and unhealthily) for a huge, spoiled baby who is actually happier to be transformed into a simpler creature, and both turn people into pigs. When first encountered, the Duchess makes a terrible impression; the second time, she is almost uncomfortably friendly with Alice. Yubaba and Zeniba may not be the same person, but they are identical twins, and Chihiro does meet the more vicious of the sisters first.

The radish spirit is a big, floppy, vaguely obscene-looking example of this trope — as well as The Speechless and a Gentle Giant. On the other hand, he doesn't suffer the social ostracism usually associated with The Grotesque.
