This is literally one of the best films I've ever seen. The main character developed well, the story was amazing, the music was well done, and the animation looked beautiful.

I can't stress enough how creative, memorable, and just overall psychedelic this movie is. The animation is gorgeous, the characters (and their designs) have so much personality to them, the story is simple, yet effective, the way it just makes me not care about any logic and be willing to throw all cynicism out the window in mere minutes are just a few of the reasons I adore this movie.

Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi shows the transition from childhood to adulthood with the most intesnse simbologism that could ever be used. For people that do not know this movie or have not understood the meaning, it can be described as Inside Out but from the point of view of children's animation, all in oriental way. (this came out in 2001, waaaaay before inside out).

This film is a he journey, the themes explored have nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland, yet it refers to. This film is a universe, a parallel world that has a real existence. The staircase scene is done so well, it makes me dizzy at each viewing.
