Spirited Away

Weekends are never long enough, unless they are too long. Becca came home for the weekend, and there was much socializing. In addition, I saw a fantastic movie, Spirited Away (or literally, The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro). I’m not surprised that the first Disney movie I really like* in a long time is a movie the huge media corporation had nothing more to do with than to buy the distribution rights and then fail to promote it until it won an Academy Award. Technically, I guess they also secured actors to dub the English version, which as far as I’m concerned is unnecessary. I would have liked to watch the Japanese version with English subtitles.

* Note: Lilo and Stitch was also good, but it was a more typical merchandise-friendly Disney movie, but Spirited Away just blew it out of the water as far as quality animated movies go.
