The boy’s got spirit

HAYAO MIYAZAKI’S Spirited Away is a rare gem in a sea of mediocrity, and it may very well change your view of animated films for ever more.

It’s the story of 10-year-old Chihiro, who along with her mother and father, is lost on the way to her new home. They stop at an abandoned town and, while her parents feast on a banquet that seems to have appeared out of nowhere, Chihiro meets Haku, a young boy who warns her to leave before it gets dark.
