Spirited Away (2001)
Famously the first anime film to win an Academy Award, Spirited Away focuses on a 10-year-old girl who wanders into a world ruled by gods, witches, and monsters.
A lonely girl wanders into a bathhouse run by ghosts in this vigorous delight from the master of Eastern animation. Tyrannical queens, boy-dragons and a fabulously stinky river god populate the finest example of traditional cartoonery since Aladdin. It's sweet, scary and, like any good ghost story, perfectly haunting.
