First of i would join the ongoing hordes of fans that will tell you this is a MUST HAVE film. You will no doubt have heard how utterly beautiful this is,that its a delightful story and you will marvel at the small tiny details that,on most animation films wouldnt have been added or even thought about, you WILL watch this over and over and notice more and more.I cannot rave about this film enough BUT...and heres the kick, it HAS been ruined by Disneys awful western dubbing-im sorry but it has! Disney/Pixar may rave about how they painfully tried to keep it true to Miyu's eastern version but thats the point IT IS AN EASTERN FILM!!its full of Asian characters and culture it should never have been dubbed.So i implore you,beg you,plead with you to watch this in THE BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN with the subtitles that way you will really appreciate the wonderful world of Spirited Away.
