ANIME FIELD NOTES
Spirited Away
Quick notes for reviewing a match. This page is shorter than our expanded study guides.
Chihiro enters a strange world whose working routines and social rules she does not understand. A bathhouse becomes a place where attention, persistence and remembering who she is have practical importance. The film's fantasy setting stays connected to an ordinary child's vulnerability.
What to notice
Use names, jobs and relationships as separate clues. A visually unusual creature may be easier to recognize through what it does than through a broad description of its appearance. The film's studio, director and distributor are also different kinds of production credit.
Keep these straight
- Chihiro and the name used for her work are linked identities.
- A bathhouse role can distinguish characters with very different appearances.
- Studio Ghibli is the animation studio; the director and distributor are separate credits.
