An
enchanting fairytale and surreal fable, this animated feature
has enthralled both adults and children in their millions
all around the world. 10-year old Chihiro, capricious and
headstrong, believing the world should revolve around her,
stumbles with her parents into the Land of the Spirits,
a world of ancient gods and magical beings ruled over by
the demonic sorceress Yubaba. With the help of the enigmatic
young Haku, she learns both what to renounce and how to
survive. A visionary work and an adventure unlike any other.
