Movie review assignment
Title for movie: Spirited away
Critics name: Jack Matthews
Title of review: ANIMé TREAT HAS OOHS & OZ CARTOON WIZARD'S 'SPIRITED AWAY' CASTS AN ENCHANTING SPELL
High points mentioned in review:
"An epic among children's animated movies."
The film was also considered to be rich and rewarding
Low points:
some of the characters may not appeal to the audience.
Quoted paragraph from the article that makes its point evident:
"But this version of "Spirited Away" has no cultural speed bumps for anyone, and its themes about love and self-esteem are universal. At just over two hours, "Spirited Away" is an epic among children's animated movies, but it flies by, thanks both to Miyazaki's endless inventiveness and his unerring feel for his heroine. Chihiro may be harder to pronounce than Dorothy or Alice, but she deserves her place alongside them as a literary star."
