Spirited Away (2001)
If this isn’t one of the greatest animated films of all time, I’ll eat my shoe. There’s something so magical about Spirited Away from Studio Ghibli. It follows the story of Chihiro Ogino, a little girl who gets separated from her parents after they go exploring inside an abandoned amusement park before sunset.
Realizing that her parents have been turned into pigs, young Chihiro enters a bathhouse full of spirits and befriends a boy named Haku, who helps her on her journey back to her parents.
