"Spirited Away stands as a work of unparalleled genius."
- Jason Solomons, TIMES (UK)
"Spirited Away has much to say about many worthy things: the life of the spirit, materialist greed, the importance of words, the power of love."
- Joe Morgenstern, WALL STREET JOURNAL
"An out-and-out charmer. It's almost impossible to do justice in words either to the visual richness of the movie, which melanges traditional Japanese clothes and architecture with both Victorian and modern-day artifacts, or to the character-filled storyline, with human figures, harpies and grotesque creatures."
- Derek Elley, VARIETY
