Miyazaki wrote the screenplay after he decided the picture show would be based on the 10-year-erstwhile girl of his friend Seiji Okuda, the film'south acquaintance producer, who came to visit his house each summertime.^[9] At the fourth dimension, Miyazaki was developing two personal projects, only they were rejected. With a budget of US$19 million, production of Spirited Away began in 2000. Pixar animator John Lasseter, a fan and friend of Miyazaki, convinced Walt Disney Pictures to purchase the movie'south North American distribution rights, and served every bit executive producer of its English-dubbed version.^[10] Lasseter then hired Kirk Wise as director and Donald W.

Plot [edit]

Ten-yr-erstwhile Chihiro Ogino and her parents are traveling to their new abode when her father decides to take a shortcut. The family's motorcar stops in front end of a tunnel leading to what appears to exist an abandoned entertainment park which Chihiro'due south father insists on exploring, despite his daughter's protestation. They find a seemingly empty restaurant still stocked with food, which Chihiro's parents immediately brainstorm to eat. While exploring further, Chihiro reaches an enormous bathhouse and meets a boy named Haku, who warns her to return beyond the riverbed earlier sunset. Still, Chihiro discovers too tardily that her parents have metamorphosed into pigs, and she is unable to cross the now-flooded river.

Haku finds Chihiro and has her ask for a chore from the bathhouse's boiler-homo, Kamaji, a yōkai commanding the susuwatari. Kamaji refuses to hire her and asks worker Lin to send Chihiro to Yubaba, the witch who runs the bathhouse. Yubaba tries to frighten Chihiro away, but she persists, so Yubaba gives Chihiro a contract to work for her. Yubaba takes abroad the second kanji of her name, renaming her Sen ( 千 ). While visiting her parents' pigpen, Haku gives Sen a cheerio card she had with her, and Sen realizes that she had already forgotten her real name. Haku warns her that Yubaba controls people by taking their names, and that if she forgets hers like he has forgotten his, she will not be able to leave the spirit world.

Sen faces bigotry from the other workers; but Kamaji and Lin show sympathy for her. While working, she invites a silent creature named No-Face (Kaonashi 顔無し ) inside, believing him to be a customer. A "stink spirit" arrives as Sen'southward first customer, and she discovers he is the spirit of a polluted river. In gratitude for cleaning him, he gives Sen a magic emetic dumpling. Meanwhile, No-Face imitates the gold left behind past the stink spirit and tempts a worker with golden, then swallows him. He demands nutrient and begins tipping extensively. He swallows two more than workers when they interfere with his conversation with Sen.

Sen sees newspaper Shikigami attacking a dragon and recognizes the dragon as Haku metamorphosed. When a grievously injured Haku crashes into Yubaba'due south penthouse, Sen follows him upstairs. A shikigami that stowed away on her dorsum shapeshifts into Zeniba, Yubaba'southward twin sister. She turns Yubaba's son, Boh, into a mouse, creates a decoy Boh, and mutates Yubaba's harpy into a tiny, flylike bird. Zeniba tells Sen that Haku has stolen a magic golden seal from her, and warns Sen that it carries a deadly curse. Haku strikes the shikigami, which eliminates Zeniba'southward hologram. He falls into the banality room with Sen, Boh, and the harpy on his back, where Sen feeds him role of the dumpling she had intended to give her parents, causing him to vomit both the seal and a blackness slug, which Sen crushes with her foot.

With Haku unconscious, Sen resolves to return the seal and apologize to Zeniba. Sen confronts No-Face, who is at present massive, and feeds him the rest of the dumpling. No-Face follows Sen out of the bathhouse, steadily regurgitating everything that he has eaten. Sen, No-Confront, Boh, and the harpy travel to see Zeniba with train tickets given to her by Kamaji. Meanwhile, Yubaba orders that Sen's parents be slaughtered, but Haku reveals that Boh is missing and offers to retrieve him if Yubaba releases Sen and her parents. Yubaba agrees, but simply if Sen can laissez passer a final test.

Sen meets with Zeniba, who makes her a magic hairband and reveals that Sen's beloved for Haku bankrupt her expletive and that Yubaba used the black slug to take control over Haku. Haku appears at Zeniba'due south home in his dragon form and flies Sen, Boh, and the harpy to the bathhouse. No-Face decides to stay behind and become Zeniba's spinner. In mid-flight, Sen recalls falling years ago into the Kohaku River and being done safely aground, correctly guessing Haku'south existent identity as the spirit of the Kohaku River ( ニギハヤミ コハクヌシ , Nigihayami Kohakunushi ). When they get in at the bathhouse, Yubaba forces Sen to place her parents from amidst a grouping of pigs in gild to break their curse. After she answers correctly that none of the pigs are her parents, her contract disappears and she is given back her real proper name. Haku takes her to the now-dry riverbed and vows to meet her again. Chihiro crosses the riverbed to her restored parents, who do not retrieve anything later on eating at the eatery stall. They walk dorsum through the tunnel until they reach their motorcar, now covered in dust and leaves. Before getting in, Chihiro looks back at the tunnel, unsure if her adventure really happened.

Development and inspiration [edit]

"I created a heroine who is an ordinary girl, someone with whom the audition can sympathize [...]. [I]t'southward not a story in which the characters abound up, only a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out past the particular circumstances [...]. I want my young friends to live like that, and I recollect they, likewise, have such a wish."

—Hayao Miyazaki^[22]

Every summer, Hayao Miyazaki spent his vacation at a mountain cabin with his family and five girls who were friends of the family. The idea for Spirited Abroad came about when he wanted to make a film for these friends. Miyazaki had previously directed films for small children and teenagers such every bit My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service, but he had not created a film for x-year-one-time girls. For inspiration, he read shōjo manga magazines like Nakayoshi and Ribon the girls had left at the cabin, but felt they only offered subjects on "crushes" and romance. When looking at his young friends, Miyazaki felt this was not what they "held love in their hearts" and decided to produce the moving picture nearly a young heroine whom they could look up to instead.^[22]

Hayao Miyazaki used shōjo manga magazines for inspiration to straight Spirited Away.

Miyazaki had wanted to produce a new film for years, but his two previous proposals—one based on the Japanese book Kiri no Mukō no Fushigi na Machi ( 霧のむこうのふしぎな町 ) by Sachiko Kashiwaba, and another about a teenage heroine—were rejected. His third proposal, which concluded up becoming Sen and Chihiro's Spirited Away, was more successful. The three stories revolved around a bathhouse that was inspired past one in Miyazaki's hometown. He thought the bathhouse was a mysterious place, and there was a minor door next to i of the bathtubs in the bath house. Miyazaki was always curious to what was behind it, and he made upwards several stories nearly it, one of which inspired the bathhouse setting of Spirited Away.^[22]

Product of Spirited Abroad commenced in February 2000 on a budget of ¥1.9 billion (United states of america$15 million).^[2] Walt Disney Pictures financed ten percent of the film's production price for the right of start refusal for American distribution.^{[23] [24]} As with Princess Mononoke, Miyazaki and the Studio Ghibli staff experimented with computer blitheness. With the utilise of more than computers and programs such as Softimage 3D, the staff learned the software, merely used the technology advisedly so that it enhanced the story, instead of "stealing the show". Each character was mostly hand-drawn, with Miyazaki working aslope his animators to run into they were getting information technology just right.^[ii] The biggest difficulty in making the moving picture was to reduce its length. When production began, Miyazaki realized it would be more than three hours long if he made it according to his plot. He had to delete many scenes from the story, and tried to reduce the "eye candy" in the film because he wanted information technology to be simple. Miyazaki did not want to make the hero a "pretty girl". At the beginning, he was frustrated at how she looked "dull" and thought, "She isn't cute. Isn't in that location something we can do?" As the flick neared the end, even so, he was relieved to experience "she will be a mannerly adult female."^[22]

Miyazaki based some of the buildings in the spirit world on the buildings in the real-life Edo-Tokyo Open up Air Architectural Museum in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan. He often visited the museum for inspiration while working on the motion picture. Miyazaki had always been interested in the Pseudo-Western style buildings from the Meiji period that were available at that place. The museum made Miyazaki feel nostalgic, "specially when I stand here alone in the evening, near closing time, and the sun is setting – tears well upward in my eyes."^[22] Another major inspiration was the Notoya Ryokan ( 能登谷旅館 ), a traditional Japanese inn located in Yamagata Prefecture, famous for its exquisite architecture and ornamental features.^[25] While some guidebooks and manufactures merits that the old golden town of Jiufen in Taiwan served as an inspirational model for the film, Miyazaki has denied this.^[26] The Dōgo Onsen is likewise often said to exist a key inspiration for the Spirited Abroad onsen/bathhouse.^[27]

Music [edit]

The movie score of Spirited Abroad was equanimous and conducted by Miyazaki'southward regular collaborator Joe Hisaishi, and performed by the New Nippon Philharmonic.^[28] The soundtrack received awards at the 56th Mainichi Moving picture Competition Laurels for Best Music, the Tokyo International Anime Off-white 2001 Best Music Award in the Theater Movie category, and the 17th Japan Gilded Deejay Accolade for Animation Album of the Year.^{[29] [30] [31]} Later, Hisaishi added lyrics to "One Summertime's Twenty-four hour period" and named the new version of the vocal "The Name of Life" ( いのちの名前 , "Inochi no Namae" ) which was performed by Ayaka Hirahara.^[32]

The closing vocal, "Always With Me" ( いつも何度でも , "Itsumo Nando Demo" , lit. 'Always, No Matter How Many Times') was written and performed by Youmi Kimura, a composer and lyre-player from Osaka.^[33] The lyrics were written by Kimura's friend Wakako Kaku. The song was intended to be used for Rin the Chimney Painter ( 煙突描きのリン , Entotsu-kaki no Rin ), a unlike Miyazaki film which was never released.^[33] In the special features of the Japanese DVD, Hayao Miyazaki explains how the song in fact inspired him to create Spirited Away.^[33] The song itself would exist recognized as Gold at the 43rd Nihon Record Awards.^[34]

Besides the original soundtrack, there is too an image anthology, titled Spirited Away Image Anthology ( 千と千尋の神隠し　イメージアルバム , Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi Imēji Arubamu ), that contains 10 tracks.^[35]

English adaptation [edit]

John Lasseter, Pixar animator and a fan and friend of Miyazaki, would oft sit with his staff and spotter Miyazaki'south work when encountering story problems. After seeing Spirited Away Lasseter was ecstatic.^[36] Upon hearing his reaction to the film, Disney CEO Michael Eisner asked Lasseter if he would be interested in introducing Spirited Away to an American audience. Lasseter obliged past like-minded to serve equally the executive producer for the English adaptation. Following this, several others began to join the projection: Beauty and the Animate being co-manager Kirk Wise and Aladdin co-producer Donald W. Ernst joined Lasseter equally manager and producer of Spirited Away, respectively.^[36] Screenwriters Cindy Davis Hewitt and Donald H. Hewitt penned the English-linguistic communication dialogue, which they wrote in order to match the characters' original Japanese-language lip movements.^[11]

The cast of the film consists of Daveigh Chase, Jason Marsden, Suzanne Pleshette (in her concluding moving picture office before her expiry in January 2008), Michael Chiklis, Lauren Holly, Susan Egan, David Ogden Stiers and John Ratzenberger (a Pixar regular). Advertising was limited, with Spirited Away existence mentioned in a small scrolling section of the film section of Disney.com; Disney had sidelined their official website for Spirited Away ^[36] and given the picture a comparatively small promotional budget.^[24] Marc Hairston argues that this was a justified response to Studio Ghibli'south retentivity of the merchandising rights to the motion-picture show and characters, which limited Disney'due south power to properly marketplace the film.^[24]

Themes [edit]

Supernaturalism [edit]

The major themes of Spirited Abroad, heavily influenced by Japanese Shinto-Buddhist folklore, center on the protagonist Chihiro and her liminal journey through the realm of spirits. The central location of the motion-picture show is a Japanese bathhouse where a great multifariousness of Japanese folklore creatures, including kami, come up to bathe. Miyazaki cites the solstice rituals when villagers call along their local kami and invite them into their baths.^[8] Chihiro as well encounters kami of animals and plants. Miyazaki says of this:

In my grandparents' fourth dimension, it was believed that kami existed everywhere – in copse, rivers, insects, wells, anything. My generation does not believe this, merely I like the idea that nosotros should all treasure everything because spirits might be there, and we should treasure everything because in that location is a kind of life to everything.^[viii]

Chihiro's archetypal entrance into another world demarcates her status as 1 somewhere betwixt child and adult. Chihiro also stands outside societal boundaries in the supernatural setting. The utilise of the discussion kamikakushi (literally 'subconscious by gods') within the Japanese title, and its associated folklore, reinforces this liminal passage: "Kamikakushi is a verdict of 'social death' in this world, and coming back to this world from Kamikakushi meant 'social resurrection.'"^[37]

Additional themes are expressed through No-Face, who reflects the characters who surround him, learning by example and taking the traits of whomever he consumes. This nature results in No-Face'south monstrous rampage through the bathhouse. After Chihiro saves No-Face with the emetic dumpling, he becomes timid once more. At the end of the film, Zeniba decides to take intendance of No-Confront and so he tin can develop without the negative influence of the bathhouse.^[38]

Fantasy [edit]

The motion-picture show has been compared to Lewis Carroll'southward Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, every bit the stories have some elements in mutual such as beingness ready in a fantasy globe, the plots including a disturbance in logic and stability, and there existence motifs such as food having metamorphic qualities; though developments and themes are non shared.^{[39] [40] [41]} Amidst other stories compared to Spirited Away, The Wonderful Sorcerer of Oz is seen to be more closely linked thematically.^[40]

Yubaba has many similarities to the Coachman from the 1940 film Pinocchio, in the sense that she mutates humans into pigs in a similar way that the boys of Pleasure Island were mutated into donkeys. Upon gaining employment at the bathhouse, Yubaba's seizure of Chihiro'southward true name symbolically kills the child,^[42] who must then assume adulthood. She then undergoes a rite of passage co-ordinate to the monomyth format; to recover continuity with her past, Chihiro must create a new identity.^[42]

Traditional Japanese civilization [edit]

Spirited Abroad contains disquisitional commentary on modern Japanese guild concerning generational conflicts and environmental problems.^[43] Chihiro has been seen equally a representation of the shōjo, whose roles and credo had inverse dramatically since post-war Japan.^[43] Merely as Chihiro seeks her past identity, Japan, in its anxiety over the economic downturn occurring during the release of the moving picture in 2001, sought to reconnect to past values.^[42] In an interview, Miyazaki has commented on this nostalgic chemical element for an quondam Nihon.^[44]

Western consumerism [edit]

Accordingly, the film tin can be partly understood as an exploration of the effect of greediness and Western consumerism on traditional Japanese culture.^[45] For instance, Yubaba is stylistically unique within the bathhouse, wearing a Western apparel and living amid European décor and furnishings, in contrast with the minimalist Japanese manner of her employees' quarters, representing the Western backer influence over Japan in its Meiji period and beyond. Along with its function within the ostensible coming of historic period theme, Yubaba'southward act of taking Chihiro's name and replacing it with Sen (an alternate reading of chi, the first character in Chihiro's name, lit. 'one m'), can be thought of equally symbolic of capitalism's single-minded concern with value.^[43]

The Meiji blueprint of the abandoned theme park is the setting for Chihiro'southward parents' metamorphosis – the family arrives in an imported Audi auto and the father wears a European-styled polo shirt, reassuring Chihiro that he has "credit cards and cash," before their morphing into literal consumerist pigs.^{[46] [ unreliable source? ] [ failed verification ]} Miyazaki has stated:

Chihiro's parents turning into pigs symbolizes how some humans get greedy. At the very moment Chihiro says at that place is something odd about this boondocks, her parents turn into pigs. There were people that "turned into pigs" during Japan'southward bubble economy (consumer order) of the 1980s, and these people still haven't realized they've become pigs. Once someone becomes a hog, they don't return to being human but instead gradually showtime to have the "body and soul of a hog". These people are the ones saying, "We are in a recession and don't have enough to consume." This doesn't just apply to the fantasy world. Mayhap this isn't a coincidence and the food is actually (an illustration for) "a trap to catch lost humans."^[45]

Still, the bathhouse of the spirits cannot be seen equally a identify free of ambivalence and darkness.^[47] Many of the employees are rude to Chihiro because she is man, and abuse is ever-nowadays;^[43] it is a identify of backlog and greed, every bit depicted in the initial appearance of No-Face.^[48] In stark contrast to the simplicity of Chihiro's journeying and transformation is the constantly chaotic carnival in the background.^[43]

Environmentalism [edit]

In that location are two major instances of allusions to environmental issues within the movie. The offset is seen when Chihiro is dealing with the "stink spirit". The stink spirit was really a river spirit, but it was and so corrupted with filth that one couldn't tell what it was at starting time glance. It merely became make clean again when Chihiro pulled out a huge amount of trash, including car tires, garbage, and a wheel. This alludes to man pollution of the environment, and how people tin can carelessly toss away things without thinking of the consequences and of where the trash volition go.

The second innuendo is seen in Haku himself. Haku does not remember his proper noun and lost his past, which is why he is stuck at the bathhouse. Eventually, Chihiro remembers that he used to be the spirit of the Kohaku River, which was destroyed and replaced with apartments. Because of humans' need for development, they destroyed a role of nature, causing Haku to lose his home and identity. This can be compared to deforestation and desertification; humans tear down nature, cause imbalance in the ecosystem, and demolish animals' homes to satisfy their desire for more space (housing, malls, stores, etc.) but do not think about how information technology tin affect other living things.^[49]

The film ranked number ten in Empire magazine's "The 100 All-time Films of World Movie house" in 2010.^[98] In 2010, Rotten Tomatoes ranked it as the 13th-all-time animated pic on the site,^[99] and in 2012 as the 17th.^[100] In 2019, the site considered the film to be #1 amid 140 essential animated movies to watch.^[101] In 2021 the moving picture was ranked at number 46 on Time Out magazine's list of "The 100 All-time Movies of All Time".^[102]

In his book Otaku, Hiroki Azuma observed: "Between 2001 and 2007, the otaku forms and markets quite rapidly won social recognition in Japan," and cites Miyazaki's win at the University Awards for Spirited Away among his examples.^{[103] [ failed verification ]}
