Finally - A Miyazaki Film Pushed Correctly For The Mass American Audience - SPIRITED AWAY Trailer!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm working up my review of the Japanese DVD of SPIRITED AWAY which I absolutely flipped 7 times over and did an amazing series a back handsprings with full twists over too. I mean, this is how you do it. Of course putting John Lasseter in charge was the genius move this time out. John GETS it. He understands the magic of animation... whether it be Computer Animated or Hand Drawn. Personally - Putting John in charge of Disney Animation and just handing Disney Corp in general to Steve Jobs would be... well the smartest damn thing Disney's shareholders could ever do.

What I love about this trailer is that, while I know what all the images are, and how they fit into the story, at no point do they give you the key information about what the storyline is, what the key twists will be, what any of the important parts that tell this story are. They treat the film as though it is magical, and it is. They treat the film as though it is one of the most beloved animated films of all time in the world - it actually is. The trailer treats the movie like it is a great film by an important world filmmaker at the height of his powers, and it and Hayao are exactly that. Ya know, I bought the Japanese DVD because I have no faith in Disney companies in treating foriegn films with the respect they deserve. Check it out... You'll be elated that you did!

Hey Harry,

I've been looking forward to this film forever! I have a copy of my own that I've been watching every other day (and I'm the lead editor for a Spirited Away 'Countdown' at another movie info site). I genuinely believe in this film. Aside from Amelie, this is the only other film that made me leave the theater with a huge smile on my face!

Now, go to the link, and experience a trailer that will hopefully give you chills (I'm watching it for the tenth time, and still getting chills!).

Sincerely,

uruseiranma
