From one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animated cinema comes Spirited Away, the most acclaimed film of 2002, winner of the 2003 Oscar for Best Animated Film and the Golden Bear at Berlin. Hayao Miyazaki's latest triumph, filled with astonishing animation and epic adventure, is a dazzling masterpiece for all ages.

Chihiro is a little girl who believes the world revolves around her and her every whim. So she's far from happy when her parents suddenly announce they're moving home. And there are more unpleasant surprises in store! Exploring their new neighbourhood, the family stumble across a mysterious tunnel and, lured inside, they find themselves in a ghostly town, where almost at once they become separated.

And so, alone and lost, Chihiro wanders a fantastical world inhabited by ancient gods and magical beings. Ruled over by the demonic sorceress, Yakuba, this is the Land of the Spirits and, for the 10-year-old, the setting for an extraordinary adventure that will change her life forever.

Spirited Away is released by High Fliers and will be available to rent on VHS and DVD from 29th March 2004.
