FEATURE : TOP 10 ANIMATED FILMS - No. 1

1.

Spirited Away (2001)

A film that carries out on its titles’ promise, 'Spirited Away' grabs the audience within minutes and takes you on an epic yet personal journey. It’s a film that will have you feeling like you’re 8 again with the bizarre world and characters providing a completely overwhelming experience. There's an air of uncertainy that haunts the film as the antagonist and audience are never sure of whom to trust. "Spirited Away"s' characters and story defy the standard formulas that plague the majority of western animations and this only adds to the over-all enjoyment of the audience. Miyazaki has honed his craft to perfection over the years and "Spirited Away" is a testiment to his genuis and skill. At the end of the day when you walk out of the cinema doors, "Spirited Away" has offered you one thing that the majority of other (live and animated) films cannot and that is the feeling that you've actually experienced something.
