Spirited Away (PG) [SUBTITLED]

A girl rides on the back of a dragon-like creature over water.

Spirited Away was a worldwide smash upon its original release over 20 years ago, now the animated classic is back on the big screen. 

Alternatively, English language dubbed screenings can be booked here.

Filmmaking legend Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, The Boy and The Heron) won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature when Spirited Away was first released in 2001. An instant classic, the film explores the life of a young girl Chihiro who wanders into a supernatural world where witches rule and those who disobey are turned into animals. She must use all her wits to survive in this strange new place and return to the normal world. 

Overflowing with imaginative creatures and thrilling storytelling, it's one of the most critically-acclaimed films of all time and is sure to delight a new generation of fans in cinemas.

Screened in the original Japanese language with subtitles.
