An overall awesome movie which greatly changed my view on entertainment as a whole.
The story begins off with a ten year old girl named Chihiro who is moving into the suburbs to their new house. Along the way Chihiro and her parents come across a shirne as her father decides to take a short cut, and the family decides to explore the other side against Chihiro's will.

Upon entering the shrine, Chihiro's parents finds food and digs in, and despite Chihiro's constant reminder for them to stop, they say they will pay for it later. Chihiro tries to go back to the car and meets a boy named Haku who tells her to run away from the place. When she gets back to her parents she discovers that they had turned into pigs. Scared beyond wits, she runs in a desperate atempt to flee the place. Haku finds her and saves her once again and tells her that the only way to survive is to get a job, which Chihiro does.

Meeting many spirits and going past many difficulties, Chihiro attempts to save her parents and escape with the help of her newly made friends. Haku was saved by her as well and helps her pass the test to get home. The movie ends with Chihiro's clueless parents moving to their new home.


This movie greatly changed me as a
person. The hard to believe fantasy and the events which had irony to them. The movie made me crave for more stories, fairy tales, mythology, or folk tales.After the day which I had watched this movie, I seeked many new stories to be heard from history to fantasy, from gods to vampires.
