Away with the...
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away) (English Dub coz I was too lazy to read)
So after buying this cheap, and having nothing to watch on Tv I sat down to watch this truely beautiful film. It's by the same guy who did Princess Mononoke and wow is it good. Thankfully not as environmentalist as Mononoke but still has a message in it.
The story starts with a family who are about to move to a new town and stop off, they find a strange tunnel and wander into it much to the little girls disgust and fear. Once through they find an abandoned Theme Park which appears to be totally deserted. The parents then smell food coming from a near by stall and as there is no one around they help themselve. Against the warning of the girl.
I'm not gonna spoil what happens next but the journey goes from light, to dark, to darker and back round. A beautifully told story, that is only matched by the amazing animation. Disney take note your time has come to fuck off unless you're gonna actually produce something decent, and no I don't mean relying on Pixar to make good films for you.
If you've never seen any anime before watch this coz it's a real eye opener.
Has anyone got any other recommendation other than, Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Princess Mononoke, Interstella 5555 (Daft Punk film done to Discovery Album)?
