- Lucas CraparottaApril 5, 2025Masterpiece. One of Ghibli's most magical films. The art, story, and music are all fantastic. This film is peak Ghibli (●'◡'●)
- Tiffie StarchildMay 31, 2025I loooove Ghibli movies, and Spirited Away has a special place in my heart because it was the first Ghibli film I ever saw. It opened me up to a world of movies that could be thrilling and adventurous and emotional but still soooo beautiful and slow and non-stressful? If that makes sense? Like even when big, scary things are happening (like Yubaba vs Haku, etc), something about Ghibli art and storytelling still makes it a lovely experience.
- Shawn JannaschMay 25, 2025One of the greatest movies ever made!
