The music is wonderful, the lanterns slow glow is beautiful, the spirits manifesting are creepy but cool, and the parents turning to pigs is so horrific that I can't help but love it. What great horror imagery.<br /><br />Why can't there be more movies like this one?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-84620517187760853072010-04-02T11:47:36.687-05:002010-04-02T11:47:36.687-05:00Outstanding review!

Another thing I love about this movie is the animation of the Haku dragon, such as the part where he's being chased by the paper birds. One of my favorite images in the movie is when Chihiro guesses Haku's real name, and the dragon scales chip away, and suddenly Chihiro and Haku are holding hand, falling/floating toward the water.Wild Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243331039670327167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-77345927711853281922010-03-31T12:16:37.407-05:002010-03-31T12:16:37.407-05:00What a great review! and this is a hard one to do,...What a great review! and this is a hard one to do, I feel like. You should get that shot where she looks out over the lake and sees the boat moving across, all lit up. I think that's one of my favorite moments of the movie.Daynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994216002356791239noreply@blogger.com
