Spirited Away is an imaginative tale about Chihiro and her development as a 10-year-old girl. The film had amazing commentary and themes of greed, identity, and friendship. I found the character development of Chihiro the most inspiring theme; shifting from a timid and fear-ridden child to a confident and self-reliant teenager. This theme of adulthood is heavily present throughout the film, demonstrating that we must overcome fear and aversion in order to mature. The side characters are playful, diverse, and intricate. The animation is absolutely astounding and the voice acting (I watched with English dub) was spot on.
