With its “Mind-bogglingly superb animation” (The Guardian). SPIRITED AWAY is considered by many critics as one of the greatest films of all time. The Evening Standard called the film “vivid, amusing, and genuinely awe-inspiring.” With Dazed describing it as “pure pleasure” and “a total joy.

RE-RELEASE
