Brilliantly heartwarming movie about a girl who, along with her parents, gets lost in an abandoned amusement park. The parents unfortunately get turned into pigs leaving the girl on her own. The young girl proceeds to try to escape the amusement park once realising that it is full of ghosts but can't seem to leave her parents behind. She proceeds to meet many characters who work at the bath house, she gets a job there as that is the only way she can get her parents back. She meets no face outside the bathhouse and mistakes no face as a good ghost and allows him into which noface feeds on the greed of all those in the bathhouse and has to be stopped by Chihiro (the girl). But she stumbles onto a dark secret, and has to go on a journey by herself to save Haku. At the end of the journey she finds out that the so-called evil twin sister is not evil at all and gives no face a home and helps save hakus life. Chihiro finally returns to the bathhouse but faces one more challenge in order to get her parents back. She passes this challenge and Chihior and her parents are free to leave the amusement park.
Going into this I had never seen a Studio Ghibli film before so had no expectations as to what I was watching. The first thing that drew me to this film was the animation, and no face. But what kept me watching the film was the incredible cinematography, the film was very colourful and bright, there was always something going on so the film never felt boring or long. I noticed the soundtrack in the film was very well thought out, you could always tell the emotions of the characters or the emotions that the director wanted the viewers to feel because the soundtrack helped amplify that. Finally, the character development in this film was impeccable. You could really tell that Chihiro had changed by the end of the film, she had become less lazy, self-centered and had become more confident. Haku had cut his ties with the toxic old lady and had learnt to stand up for himself and care for other people. All in all this was an amazing film that I’d happily watch again and again.
