In the scene in Spirited Away during which Chihiro squashes the small worm like thing that inhabited Haku with her foot that, Kamaji tells Chihiro to “Cut the line!” Cutting the line is a Japanese good-luck charm performed by making a chopping gesture through another person’s connected index fingers. This is done whenever someone is affected by some impurity. During footage of the dubbing process in the “Spirited Away” Nippon-TV Special, Rumi Hiiragi, playing Chihiro, was not aware of this concept and had it explained to her byHayao Miyazaki. One of the sound engineers commented “The young don’t know it these days.”
