Spirited Away.
 
Has anyone seen Spirited Away?

It is, though a cartoon (Some of you may not like Cartoons), a very good Movie.
It has some pretty cool art in it and some cool scenes.

If you have not seen it, I would advise you to.
For those of you who have seen it, (If any) could you share what you thought about it.

I really liked it, and once again, if you haven't seen it, I think that you should.

Good old Studio Ghibli. They are currently working on a movie based on the third Earthsea book The Farthest Shore. Should be pretty good.

Same creator of Kiki's Delivery Service, right? I sure loved that movie as a kid. (If I'm thinking of something else, I'll feel incredibly dumb, but meh.)

I haven't seen it, but I've been meaning to watch it with Luke... Though I don't know anything about it. XP

The Creators name is Miyazaki Hayao.
Not sure what other movies He/She/Company has has made, though.

He has also made Princess Mononoke, which I intend to see.

Spiritied Away was indeed quite a spectacular film. Beautiful soundtrack, stunning images and creativity, and a fine story line.

The english version also had some good voices for the characters too, especially Yubaba.

I would agree this is probably one of the best animated features out of Japan I have ever seen.

If you liked that I'd recommend Metropolis - it's an anime remake of the famous 1927 silent film. I thought they were even directed by the same guy but IMDB tells me that they're not. Brilliant, nonetheless.

Ahh...Miyazaki's Spirited Away. The COOLEST anime movie I've ever seen!
I went :eek: when I watched the entire thing!
I was amazed at the art and storyline.
Although...Chihiro was annoying with her high-pitched voice...I was close to say, "SHUT THE -blam- UP!"
But hey, it was an amazing movie!

It's a man. He made a list of the 100 most influential people of the year in Time, 2005.

Spirited Away is a beautiful film, yes. I enjoy how the Japanese take animation seriously, as opposed to here in the states where most of what we produce is...sub standard.

Anyone who still wants to see it, I heard Cartoon Network is showing it today (Sunday, February 5) at 5 O' Clock.

I have yet to see Spirited Away, a friend of mine has it though I'll probably borrow it from him when I next see him.

Metropolis though I've got that on DVD, it's a great film.

I thought that No-Face was much more annoying with his: "Uhh-uhh. Uhhhhhh UUUUUHHHHhHhhhhhHhhHh!" crap.
But it was amazing.

I have to see this MetroPolis that everyone's talking about, it sounds good.
I have Spirited Away recorded and saved on TiVo already, so I can rewatch it.
