⊙ Spirited Away: Memorable Quotes

This is a famous line from Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し), a 2001 feature-length animated film from the Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli. It's probably the most famous film after Princess Mononoke (もののけ姫), and the only non-English-language film to win Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.

Based on the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Spirited Away follows ten-year-old Chihiro (千尋), who, on the day she moves to a new neighborhood with her parents, gets lost and comes across a mysterious tunnel. Chihiro and her parents find themselves in the world of the gods, a realm forbidden to humans. After eating the food of the gods, Chihiro's parents are turned into pigs, and Chihiro, who must save them and return to the human world, is given a new name, Sen, by the witch Yubaba. Thus begins her adventure in the world of the gods.

The story of Chihiro, who must save her parents, reclaim her name, and return to the human world, is the main focus of the film. It teaches about personal growth, affirming one's identity, faith, friendship, love, and the need for symbiosis between nature and humans. More than just an adventure coming-of-age film for kids, Spirited Away is a film the whole family can watch together, and it’s a movie that will touch your heart again and again.

Here's a look back at some of the film's key moments, featuring moving quotes from Chihiro, Haku, Kamaji, Zeniba, and more.
