I recently picked up these two fine animated features and settled down to watch them. Writer and director Hayao Mayazaki must have some friends in the higher STO realms.
Both films deal with youngsters caught up in impossible situations, involving dark selfish forces. Spirited Away focuses on the the idea of an Oz-like negative realm, with more than a hint of 4th D about it. Laputa is less otherworldly, but it combines hints of a mystical past with ancient technology, sacred stones, government conspiracies and a mysterious island in the sky.
I will provide no spoilers, but I urge any lover of thought provoking, positive movie making to hunt these two down on DVD - I think they are universally available.
