No one would ever deny the visual splendor and wealth of imagination that have gone into the look of this film. Chihiro encounters an amazing array of strange and exotic creatures abiding there, some of whom help her in her quest and some of whom don't. After her parents are turned into pigs, the young girl must infiltrate the bathhouse to find a way to make them human again.
In Hayao Miyazaki's Oscar-winning animated feature, `Spirited Away,' a young girl by the name of Chihiro and her parents stumble across an abandoned `amusement park' that turns out to be a mysterious bathhouse for the spirit world (a la `Carnival of Souls'). Chihiro must rely on Haku to save her parents in hopes of returning to their world. The owner of the bathhouse is the evil witch Yubaba, who is intent on keeping all trespassers as captive workers, including Chihiro. At the center of the town is a bathhouse where these creatures go to relax. In addition, the theme park turns out to be a town inhabited by demons, spirits, and evil gods. She runs to the restaurant and finds that her parents have turned into pigs. She meets a boy named Haku who tells her that Chihiro and her parents are in danger, and they must leave immediately. However, Chihiro refuses to eat and decides to explore the theme park a bit more.
When her parents see a restaurant with great-smelling food but no staff, they decide to eat and pay later. They go through the tunnel and find an abandoned amusement park on the other side, with its own little town. Her parents decide to stop the car and explore the area. On the way to their new home, Chihiro's father makes a wrong turn and drives down a lonely one-lane road which dead-ends in front of a tunnel. Chihiro and her parents are moving to a small Japanese town in the countryside, much to Chihiro's dismay.
