[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I always like to see this movie as a metaphor for growing independent. You get separated from your parents, thrown into a new world, get a job, and it's scary at first. Then you get used to it, make new friends, grow confident enough to travel alone. And sometimes those friends leave.

[@MoviesinDepth]

That is such a beautiful sentiment

[@Bigvig_of_bogvog]

And you can still see and be with your parents, even if you don’t depend on them as much anymore

[@domidium]

Seems to share this theme with Kiki's Delivery Service.

[@oliverdelica2289]

Chihiro for me is peak character arc

[@ks.9709]

Thought it was about like prostitution like a work house Or something can’t remember but a lot of people believe that

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

"Chihiro" means "One thousand travels" "Sen" means "One thousand" So in other words, Yubaba reduced her to a number

[@MoviesinDepth]

Ok don’t make me cry now

[@anezka725]

In Czech "Sen" means Dream :) thats what this story feels like to me.

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

@schrodingerskatze2162 Ohh, that brings a whole other meaning as well. As if apprehending her ability to question.

[@1000nya]

「尋hiro」というのは昔の日本で使われた「長さ」または「深さ」の単位です。1尋が約1.5メートルです。千尋＝1000尋は、象徴的に非常に長い（深い）、という意味になります。

[@1000nya]

日本の漢字には複数の読み方があり、どう読むかで意味が変わります。 「千尋Chihiro」の名前は二つの漢字でできています。 「千」をsenと読むと「1000」という意味になります。chiと読むと「たくさん」という意味です。 「尋」をhiroと読むのは単位として使う場合だけです。別の読み方をすると「質問する」「訪問する」といった意味になります。

[@pageachatter229]

Apparently, what No-Face is based on is a creature from Japanese folklore called a noppera-bō, or faceless ghost. They can only gain a personality by mimicking the personalities of those around it. And in the case of No-Face, he was surrounded by the ill-tempered greed of the workers in the bathhouse, so he kinda went insane.

[@johankaewberg8162]

Hence why only could talk after absorbing some people.

[@RealBradMiller]

​@@johankaewberg8162Yeah, he ate the frog, then took over his voice immediately!

[@pikaace]

The two of you drinking shots every time you saw something disturbing added an extra layer of enjoyment and comedy I never knew I needed

[@MoviesinDepth]

It’s the gift that keeps on giving 😂

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

The part where Chihiro breaks down while eating always hits me in the heart. One time, we were watching this in class and when a student laughed during this scene, you don't know how badly I wanted to throw hands.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Those were some BIG tears

[@osmanyousif7849]

I never understood the scene when I was 7 (Yes, I was pretty young....), as it always confused me to if that was part of the spell Haku put in them. But, then I realized that it was her having to finally accept that this is REAL, and how she almost forgot her name (along with so much more....), that I understood why. The scene itself, as well as the actress's performance (Who you'll learn played Samara Morgan (The Ring) and Lilo (Lilo & Stitch)....) is just everything, I never knew I needed.

[@Kassabonn]

​@@osmanyousif7849Miyazaki always ads these moments of calmness to his movies where the characters get a chance to breath. I think this is one of those moments. She got to sit down, eat something, it all finally dawned on her and then she got to let it out.

[@gloomsi]

yeah, her eating and crying combined with the music makes me cry every time.

[@kuroneko0893]

I think the reason why Yubaba's bird and baby wanted to tag along with Chihiro and stay in their 'mini' forms was because their whole lives they were trapped in the bathhouse - the baby was basically a sheltered child who knew nothing of the outside and the bird was a just another of Yubaba's servants. Zeniba said they could have transformed back whenever they wanted but they were enjoying their freedom way too much, like how they were hopping excitedly in the train. I thought it was so cute, and to add so much personality into two minor characters so subtly was really lovely to see :)

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

The fact that even Spielberg recommends this film to anyone who hasn't seen it brings me life

[@MoviesinDepth]

The goat knows good taste

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Chihiro actually acts and feels like a 10 year old. And her growth into a braver person is so believable. Miyazaki definitely spends time with kids in real life.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Yessss the metaphors are flying off the screen in this movie

[@WinterLynne94]

Chihiro was actually based off of the daughter of one of his friends. Miyazaki often adds little details into his characters that are based on characteristics of the people he knows. Like how Chihiro's mother holds her arm when she's eating, that was taken from someone on his animation team, if I'm remembering correctly.

[@artthounasty5877]

@@WinterLynne94 Or just otherwise in reality, like for the scene where she fed the medicine ball for Haku, Miyazaki took the crew to a vet to see and film how they give medicine to dogs :>

[@ashleyjohnson9651]

just not his own 😬

[@sphinxwidget]

Yeah I really have wondered if his relationship with his son isn't too good but I don't know

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

The way you both jumped when No Face ate the frog was perfect 😂

[@MoviesinDepth]

I thought I broke my chair on that jump

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

While this movie was bloody terrifying as a child, it certainly is a fond memory

[@MoviesinDepth]

I’m glad I’ve seen it now, now I need the deep dive!!

[@WinterLynne94]

I could honestly write a full thesis on this movie, but I'll keep it to one fun fact. The final lines in the English dub of the movie don't exist in the original Japanese version. Miyazaki has confirmed that Chihiro doesn't remember anything about her time at the bath house, but the lessons she learned remained. The movie is a metaphor for growing up. Chihiro is ten years old, a time when many of us are starting to break away from more childish things as we near our teens. We're growing up, we have the potential to grow into whatever and whoever we want to be. Sometimes we need a little push. In the beginning, Chihiro was a bit of a petulant child, very whiny and complaining about everything. But over the course of her time at the bath house, she worked hard and managed to grow into a confident and mostly capable young human. I say "mostly capable" because she is still only ten years old and will need her parents for a while yet, but she's more independent now. It's amazing how Miyazaki can fill his films with so much wonder and fantasy, while still making them feel grounded and down-to-Earth. I hope you'll consider checking out his other films as well.

[@paigeatwork]

That aligns with the other change from original to English - Zeniba tells Chihiro, "Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it.' (whereas in the English version this line got switched to - "Once you meet someone, you never really forget them." Our childhood and every moment in our lives helped shape us - even if we don't remember it all.

[@lazyradish]

My 5 year old niece sat and watched this whole movie with me. She was really into it and the next day she wanted her big sisters to watch too. She’s such a weird kid. 😂

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Special shout out to my man, the movie's composer Joe Hisaishi. He always understands Miyazaki's vision and adds to it with his music.

[@MoviesinDepth]

He was an absolute G

[@annafowdy]

And he just received a Winsor McCay award.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

If this movie was so much nightmare fuel to me as a kid, imagine if I had watched Princess Mononoke when I was little. Great movie, but certainly not less traumatizing.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Oh don’t tempt us

[@beetlebob4675]

That was the first cartoon I ever saw that had blood in it. I think I was 7. It was a transformative experience.❤

[@joannabartocha1815]

OMG! Mononoke Hime has pg16 rating! Who let you watch it at 7? I feel for you though! 🫂

[@artthounasty5877]

"that's a painting" Yes, yes it is. Most of the movie is hand drawn👀

[@trollnystan]

Lol, 15 years ago or so when I worked in an elementary school, I sometimes worked in the after-school programme for 6-9 year-olds. I lent them this movie once and apparently it was one of the few times almost every kid sat still and watched the entire movie all the way through, thoroughly captivated.

[@aliyahpulido953]

13:02 It's debated in the fandom whether those steamed buns Chihiro eats are filled with meat (particularly pork or some other savory, meaty filling) or with adzuki red bean paste (which is sweet.) As someone who's tried both varieties of those buns, both are absolutely delectable and if I were Chihiro, I wouldn't be mad to have either one for dinner.

[@spencercarroll6363]

One of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies! I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was starting to dive more into Studio Ghibli and after watching this movie, I could definitely see what it was so praised and beloved by many. It's fantastic!

[@MoviesinDepth]

Totally agree!!

[@jennifern2403]

Today i learnt that the English VA for Lin’s the same person who voiced Meg from Hercules.

[@oliverdelica2289]

That's hot 😅

[@user-yr5ut2nd1p]

this guys need to see Howls moving castle

[@MoviesinDepth]

You are absolutely right… because I havent

[@BusslayCola]

19:55 funny enough that's actually a Pixar reference because Pixar's John Lasseter Oversaw Spirited Away's English Dub. So they pay homage to Pixar in this scene!

[@strawberryfox8819]

Ghibli movies never get old. Recently rewatched Castle in the sky and it's still just as amazing as a decade ago. They're just magical and I still plan to decorate my first own apartment inspired by Ghibli movies.

[@ultear_yunan]

Castle in the sky is probably my favourite Gibli film ever Along with Mononoke princess

[@WolfPrideProductions]

Never seen this channel before but that reaction of pure confusion followed by "It's her sister." "Ohhhhhhhh" got me to subscribe so fast. LMAO you guys are hilarious to watch.

[@christinajackson5571]

This was a childhood favorite of mine I literally feel the nostalgia of starting to love all things creepy because of this movie, plus the creator of the movie is one favorite from them❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MoviesinDepth]

This movie has so much going for it

[@michellekeppler982]

To give a little context though I don't know how much it helps, what happens to chihiro is a kamikakushi or a kidnapping by a god. All of the weird things and people are Japanese gods and monsters from Japanese myth. The eating food thing is similar to the myth of the fae folk in Europe in that if you eat the food you become part of that world. Haku originally wanted for her to get out during the day while its still before the sun sets but because she got trapped he settled for the next best thing.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Honestly surprised Chihiro didn't break her nose after the stairs incident

[@MoviesinDepth]

She should be a PANCAKE after that

[@erinnadia0409]

The stairs incident will always make me laugh! Even when I was 10 or 32 watching this film, it can get me 😂

[@JJCHAU]

OMG you’re together in person!!!! 🥰 Can’t wait to watch this reaction when I’m off from work! 😭

[@MoviesinDepth]

Thank you so much!!

[@silvercloud96]

Find someone who looks at you like Welchy looks at Yubaba.

[@MoviesinDepth]

Not possible

[@quadtiggersson1222]

Oh MID and Welchy together for a reaction? Love it already and saved this video in my favorite list ❤️ Please do more together! You two are amazing, funny and just makes me Smile every time i watch both of your guys videos ❤️

[@kmkatieee5425]

Welchy being down bad for Yubaba is hilarious. Also I love how you were freaked out about the baby turning into the mouse. The mouse form was adorable to me.

[@omoidashu]

Back in September my family and I took a trip to Colorado and while driving in the mountains at night came across a casino town. Imagine bright neon casinos lining the one main road, and dark little houses on the roads above and behind them. And no people. Like we didn't see anyone for the 15 ish minutes we drove through. You could see the casinos had machines running and tvs on, but no one inside. Its 8:30 at night and the only traffic is us and the 2 cars we had been following for over an hour and no people or signs of life. It terrified me, I thought of this movie immediately. I told my dad this place was creepy af and to not stop for ANY reason.

[@karlmortoniv2951]

I think I’ve driven through that place at night. We didn’t have time to stop and it struck us how random it was for exactly the reasons you describe. Couldn’t find it on a map later though. Maybe we dreamed it? 😮

[@emmadow4880]

I came across this movie by when I was about 7 and then as I grew up it always felt like some trippy dream I had randomly had (cos I obviously didn’t understand anything that was going on when I watched it at 7). Then I found it again as an adult on Netflix and was like OMG IT WAS REAL 😂😂😂

[@pollystye3270]

Me only just realising that Haku is voiced by Thackary Binx

[@katemoon1594]

I like to think of Spirited Away as a modern fairy tale. A coming of age story set within the folklore of Japan. 🧚‍♀️

[@sejbomb]

I have a Ghibli tattoo sleeve because of my love of these movies since I was about 10 years old. I’ve got no face, the yellow cute duck, the mouse and yu-bird plus some of the soot sprites. It’s one of my favs.

[@edsp666]

I adored this movie as a child, I never knew other kids found it too creepy to keep watching, or were scarred by it until way later. Whilst there were parts that made me uneasy for sure, I was always just enthralled by it. Very easy for my parents to put this on and keep me entertained for a few hours 😂

[@erinnadia0409]

My favourite film growing up. Ghibli films are so magical and I will always love them 💙

[@BlueBohemianPictures]

Great reactions to all the weirdness in the film, you two bounce off each other really well. Please do Princess Mononoke sometime too, I think you guys would love it!

[@ShiningStar2010]

THANK YOU for acknowledging how CREEPY this movie was! I know it’s illustrated beautifully but this is nightmare fuel! My childhood best friend was obsessed with this movie and it creeped me out!

[@TimeVamp]

I haven't seen if someone else shared this but the scene with the muck turned river spirit? That's based on Hayao Miyazaki's personal experience with a river cleaning effort. The things he found, the despair, and the sheer beauty of the river after the clean up.

[@ljeans531]

I too got scared as a small child. When i was in middle school i finally watch the whole thing and fell in love. Its so beautiful and different from western films

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

Ghibli/Miyazaki movies are the type of films that are so beautiful they make you cry. You both need to react to the rest of them.

[@MoviesinDepth]

They are all movies I haven’t seen even being a full on WEEB

[@michellekeppler982]

No not every ghibli film is great there is one that has ocean in the title that is long boring and not that great to look at, apparently it was the project done completely by new people to let them have a try and it's horrible 😂. The rest of the films are great even if you can't make heads or tails of what's going on.

[@batool2000rox]

​@@michellekeppler982is it called "ocean waves"? The one set in a high school?

[@hanbaebummie3215]

⁠​⁠@@michellekeppler982Just because you didn’t find it interesting, doesn’t mean other people are gonna think the same, I for one think it was a great movie.

[@NikaEvelina]

Never in my life I though I would see @Welchy thirsting over a creepy Witch-Grandma 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DoctorSmashman]

4:35 I'm pretty sure those lines were added in the dub, with the dialog being inserted when the characters were hopefully far enough away that you wouldn't notice. Holding your breath so ghosts can't see you is a common superstition in Japan, where it wouldn't need to be explained. It would be like if a western exorcism movie was released in Japan and there's a scene where characters are sprinkling water from little glass bottles all over the place, there would probably need to be some dialog inserted to explain what the hell they're doing.

[@osmanyousif7849]

As a kid, I never understood what made this film so perfect. Even as I grew older, it really is easy to break the plot down which is similar to the usual trend: A main character and maybe a few others (probably friends or family) enter into a mysterious and fantasy world only for those "few others" to be captured or under a spell, so it's up to "main character" to rescue them by doing specific tasks in order to do so. But for some reason, the movie's narrative is very episodic, yet I feel like that works to it's core, especially when you consider: 1. This is a 2 hr film but the pacing somehow feels neither rushed or dragged out. 2. The director/writer, Hayao Miyazaki, made this film WITHOUT A SCRIPT, BUT WITH STORYBOARDS. And you can even tell throughout the movie, that's quite obvious. 3. The music flows well with the animation, telling you what's going to happen,. The best example being the opening scene when things are quite peaceful throughout the family driving to there new home, to when they arrive on the road leading them to the spirit world and the music tone an animation changes to become more intense, but then once they stop, things go peaceful again but with a more mystery vibe happening. 4. I also love how subtle the themes are done here. While I was mixed on the way they handle Chihiro's parents representing greed and gluttony, I have to give credit to the other ways it was shown with characters like with No-Face, the Bathhouse employees, even Yubaba. Then the themes about pollution and demolition, where the River Spirit, that people think is a muddy Stink Spirit blob, is revealed to be carrying so much garbage inside him. Or when Haku, is revealed to be a River Spirit too, but couldn't find his way home, due too humans turning the area into a place for apartment buildings (which probably explains why Chihiro and her family were moving away). But my favorite theme in the movie, is identity. From Yubaba taking Chihiro's contract, but taking away her name and being called Sen, to her forgetting her name, and Haku revealing that's how Yubaba controls people, to even being warned that Chihiro forgetting her name can lead her to never finding her way home, just like Haku forgot his. But one of the key details being added for this theme was Yubaba not recognizing her baby being turned into a mouse and it takes her much longer to see it when her baby in her room isn't hers. That being said, I definitely see every character standing out perfectly. Rewatching, you'll realize that there are no good guys or bad guys. Many characters Chihiro meets are very cold and hostile to her, but as time grows, they slowly soften up to her or respect her, when she shows how to be capable with herself. Even Yubaba, the antagonist, slowly comes to show that Chihiro has earn her respect, even showing a bit a compassion, despite not saying it out front to Chihiro, making you wonder if maybe she isn't always that evil, but just your average sly business woman who trying to run tight shifts. In general, the pros outweigh any cons, because this is indeed Studio Ghibli's and Hayao Miyazaki's magnum opus, and one of the greatest animated films of the 2000s, and a well deserved Oscar winner. A must watch movie for everyone, and definitely one that may never be made again, due to it being that great.

[@bluedreamer6564]

It's funny you had such a terrified reaction. :p I was utterly blown away at ten. So wrapped up in the beauty of the art and fantasy world, I couldn't help but cry at the end. Instantly my favorite movie, and still is twenty years later.

[@AMStryx]

Yes! Keep watching Ghibli with Welchy! Princess Mononoke is a crazy watch. The Cat Returns(spin-off from Whispers of the Heart) and My Neighbor Totoro are wild watches along with Howl's Moving Castle. Most Ghibli movies have at least a touch of strangeness, but that's part of the charm. When Marnie Was There is heartbreaking when you understand what's going on. The Secret World of Arriety is the Ghibli take of the novel series The Borrowers, and a fantastic watch. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind technically predates Studio Ghibli, but gets included since the main writer made Studio Ghibli at some point after that movie. Love Kiki's Delivery Service and it really hits different as an adult some of the themes in it. Makes it so *very* relatable.

I watch all sorts of stuff and for some reason this particular film spooks me more than most. I have no idea why.

[@pr.depper4819]

The Stink Spirit actually isn’t a Stink Spirit at all, The idea is supposed to be that he’s a river spirit who’s river got polluted and now that’s why he’s in this condition, he’s a dragon to introduce the idea that dragons are river spirits, foreshadowing the Kuhaku River reveal

[@inferlynx737]

We need more ghibli

[@MoviesinDepth]

I agree!!

[@thatsroughbuddy-]

The scene where the parents turned into pigs scared me so much as a child simply for the fact that it felt so terrifying to be in a strange scary place and your parents that are supposed to keep you safe don't even recognize or even react to you anymore and you can't do anything about it.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

[@montygreen5826]

I remember watching this movie on VHS on our little box tv. I go back and watch some of my favourite childhood movies and realize they’re not that good but Spirited Away gets better every time I watch it. Plus it was one of the only movies me and my siblings actually agreed on when picking movies.

[@laylaessack4844]

This was the movie of my childhood! We would rent it from a place around the corner a few times a year and I would watch it on repeat for a week. I was around 4. Such a beautiful film- so glad more people are appreciating Studio Ghibli

[@DustyHams]

I think the main thing you guys are not getting is the concept of spirits and japanese culture. In Japan there are many spirits. (For animals, rivers, mountains...etc. Think like native Americans spirits or folk lore about the fae in ireland) Some are scary looking or ugly but they aren't evil, its just a part of nature. Bears are cute far away but you get close you feel the threat. Japan tends to live with spirits as opposed to the west where we are more focused with exercising and getting rid of spirits.

[@robertfrancis9877]

I'd recommend Howl's movie castle or Laputa if you want to continue with these anime films. They're honestly my absolute favourites and a good number of people will agree they're iconic.

[@mrfantastic8451]

One of the scariest kids movie I've ever seen is also an Anime and it's called "Princess Mononoke". Lot's of blood, demons and violence in there... I think you'd like it 😅 Especially Welchy 😂😊 One of the best anime movies is also "Howl's Moving Castle". Less violence, also creepy, perfect for you 😅 Really recommend it to you 👌

Definitely be careful with anything from Japan. They will come after you and take down your video (most likely) at some point. Great video, BTW! Also, the stink spirit was actually a powerful River Spirit that was polluted. Miyazaki and a group of people once cleaned a river and pulled a bicycle out the same way by rope.

You both are very funny together :D I would love to see more Ghibli Movie reactions from you two :) There're a lot of good ones like Howls moving castle, princess mononoke or kikis delivery service...but there're also a lot of very underrated ones like wind rises, cat returns or whisper of the heart 👀 And last but not least the non ghibli movies like the popular ones are a silent voice and your name, but I looove wolf children, in this corner of the world and satoshi kons movies aswell like tokyo godfather, paprika and perfect blues they're sooo underrated. And if you want some more disturbing/confusing ones for fun I can recommend Akira or Ghost in the shell. Hope to see some of them in the future would be cool !! :D

The reason why chihiro knows her parents arent there in the end is bc Haku led her to the pen to rmb her parents earlier if u guys still rmb

I watched this movie when it first came out, back in high school. Since then I have seen it a few times, but not that recently. I just showed it to some friends who never watch anime and aren't familiar with Japanese folklore at all, and I sort of..... forgot the entire projectile vomiting part was in the movie 😅 My friend turned to me and said "I mean, it's ver y well animated"
