A Girl, a Bathhouse and a Spirit World

Spirited Away, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and released by Studio Ghibli in 2001, follows ten-year-old Chihiro, who wanders into a spirit world. Her parents eat food meant for the spirits and turn into pigs, and she must work in Yubaba's bathhouse to save them. Yubaba takes her name and calls her Sen.

The bathhouse serves gods and spirits. Kamaji, with six arms, runs the boiler room, helped by soot sprites carrying coal. No-Face, a lonely masked spirit, grows monstrous after swallowing greed. A stink spirit turns out to be a polluted river spirit, freed when Chihiro pulls out junk, including a bicycle.

Haku, who helps Chihiro, is a river spirit who has forgotten his name. The film shared the Golden Bear in Berlin and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2003. It was Japan's highest-grossing film for almost two decades.
