damn that movie is absolutely perfect. genuine magical experience. are there any other movies that are like this?
I know some that i used to love that are like that: my neighbor Totoro, howlβs moving castle, and Kikiβs delivery service. Β
It seems to me that Spirited away is very obviously an exaggerated adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. It is especially obvious after reading the books.
There is Over The Garden Wall, which does seem to be influenced by both the latter and former, and has some of the emotionally profound nature and folklore inspired imagery that you may be drawn to from Ghibli's metaphorical way of storytelling.Β
Inside the genre of "young girl goes to strange land and sees wondrous things" I would also recommend Labyrinth (1986).
I prefer spooky
@Pigstrong i read alice's adventures in wonderland and through the looking glass when i was around 8, would you recommend i read them again?
