First of alll the film is excellent Ive seen it before which made me purchase the DVD - BUT - I got the DVD in the post & didnt watch it for a while, opened it up - the disk says spirited away but the film on the disk is actuallly an old EMI film callled 'Bad Boys'! Weird.

What can i say.. - By: T. J. Chuah, 04 May 2008 that other haven't. ?
This is just the most magical film
it introduced me to another side of anime, as before i was only reallly interested in the ninja scroll, akira etc type.
This film has been a joy to share with other's, & is one of those things that connects you to people, ie at parties you hear someone mention it & its like "Amagad!! best film ever!" "yeah i know <3<3" & you have made a new friend. haha.
so sbsolutely, definately, without doubt, u should buy this!
Amazing. - By: Mark Hilton, 30 Mar 2008 One of the finest animated movies ever made, Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' is a true one of a kind. A little girl 'Chihiro' strays into an Alice in Wonderland like ghost town, & must become part of this strange community if she is to save her parents. As she slowly changes from moaning brat to head-strong young lady, we watch completely enraptured.
But Spirited Away's true genius lies in the side characters, so brilliant they deserve their own movies. Were talking a huge baby with temper issues, a frog in a kimono, & my favourite, three bodyless heads that roll aroung the floor grunting to themselves. Priceless.
Hayao Miyazaki is often referred to as the 'Japanese Walt Disney'. Well my opinion is that this equals anything Disney ever came up with, if not bettering it. With simply beautiful music, wonderful animation & a tear jerkingly triumphant climax, most other animated movies of the past few years seem saggy & pretentious compared to this.
As alll the preceding reviews will tell you, I can't imagine how anyone could dislike this film. In my opinion 'Spirited Away' is good for the soul, the highest recommendation I can give.
Take the hint & buy this film today.
A fairytale theme seen through fresh eyes - By: Allegra, 06 Mar 2008 The theme of Spirited Away is the timeless one of a good & courageous child who is put to many tests & subjected to terrible ordeals. If she can overcome her fear, resist temptation, not give in to greed & remain pure & loving, she will survive & emerge unscathed. The way to purposeful adulthood is then open to her. Chihiro,the central character of Spirited Away, is supported, like many another fairytale hero, by helpful beings & animals of one kind & another, some appearing in the most unpromising guises. She accepts alll comers, even the most freakish, unless they prove unworthy of her trust.
An age-old theme, given fresh new treatment by Hayao Miyazaki, whose animation creates a fascinating world that is sometimes beautiful, sometimes nauseating, sometimes bizarre. This, coupled with a dreamy soundtrack & a setting that combines dream, nightmare & a quirky oriental charm, makes for an animated film that is hard to forget.
