Spirited Away
Hayao Miyazaki's creepy, visually enthralling film follows Chihiro, a 10-year-old girl, whose parents are magically transformed into pigs after eating bewitched food. Chihiro works in a bathhouse for the scary Yubaba, trying to save her parents from the spell and the slaughterhouse. Along the way, she makes allies and encounters gloriously drawn demons, animals, and supernatural spirits, as well as a handsome boy who might actually be a river. No other film will make you love sootballs with eyes.
