“Chihiro is terrified of forgetting her name, yet it is during this period as Sen that she gradually finds composure, grows as a person and understands herself. As the movie progresses, she becomes less worried about her parents’ fate because she gains an independence and belief in herself.”

“producer Toshio Suzuki had no idea during production that Spirited Away would break record after record at the box office. In Japan, it became the most watched movie at theaters with over 23 million tickets sold, surpassing Titanic’s record which had beaten the record set by Princess Mononoke.”

“Sen’s meeting with Boh, Yubaba’s mollycoddled baby, brings her face-to-face with what she was as Chihiro: protected from the outside world, fearful of what she did not know. Her journey in an initially unknown world is the opportunity to travel within herself to find out more about who she is and let her buried talents come to the fore. One particular scene marvelously symbolizes what the young girl is going to experience: her descent down the stairway at the beginning. Fearful when setting out, she steps slowly and reluctantly. But with a gust of wind and a step that breaks she hurtles down the stairs running, with incredible precision and no tripping. The second time when she must take such a path along the side of the bathhouse, she runs confidently and without hesitation along a rusty, decrepit pipe with her life on the line. Her development between these two scenes is incredible.”
