Spirited Away

Spiritied Away is well worth seeing int he cinema. It's an animation that really transports you into the world of the spirits. Japanese anime is different from western animation as it doesnt full explain every little detail and also deals with issues differently.

The scene with the Stink blob and the bycycle is not fully explained but most people would undertand the message sent with that scene.

The main character is great and the little comic relief rat and bird were very funny.

This and Cowboy Beebop were highlights of my cinema experince in the last 6 mths. If only Anime got a more mainstream release here.
