More on Spirited Away
I thought Spirited Away was amazing. I thought it had all the characteristics of most Disney movies, although as Lizzie said earlier, many of the clever references had to do with Japanese folklore and culture, so a lot of it was lost on me. I still enjoyed the film immensly and especially loved the secondary characters in the movie. The bobbing green heads were hilarious along with the transformed bird and baby. I did wonder why Yubaba's supposedly evil twin sister wasn't evil at all when we finally meet her, and why she immediately gives the characters what they need. I was also confused about why she wanted them to call her granny. I kept waiting for her to turn on them Hanzel and Gretel style but it never happened. Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

I love the movie. I haven't seen it in nearly a year or more, since I wasn't able to come on Monday. But it's definitely one of those movies that you don't really forget. I love the different characters. It always bugged me how quickly she conformed to the ways of this magical world, although I suppose being such a determined kid, it would have been easy for her. All of the character were really well drawn out (hehe drawn out x.x)and well developed. Love it.
Spirited Away was awesome. Movies like this really expand the animated genre out from the children's stories that cartoons are supposed to be. I love it.
