Spirited Away

Ten-year-old Chihiro Ogino is traveling with her parents to their new home when they take an unexpected shortcut. This decision leads them to an abandoned amusement park that piques her mother's curiosity, despite Chihiro feeling uneasy about it.

Inside the amusement park, Chihiro and her family discover an empty restaurant filled with mouthwatering food. Her parents quickly indulge in the feast, ignoring Chihiro's apprehensions about the strange setting.

As Chihiro wanders deeper into the park, she encounters a boy named Haku, who urgently advises her to leave before sunset. He warns her that staying could have dire consequences, foreshadowing the challenges ahead.

In a shocking turn of events, Chihiro discovers that her parents have been transformed into pigs after consuming the enchanted food. With the river now flooded, she finds herself trapped in a strange spirit world with no clear way to escape.

Haku assists Chihiro by telling her to seek work from Kamaji, the boiler-man of the bathhouse. Kamaji, a peculiar character, eventually directs her to Yubaba, the witch responsible for her predicament and her parents' transformation.

Yubaba initially attempts to scare Chihiro away, but ultimately offers her a work contract. Upon signing it, Chihiro loses her name and is renamed 'Sen,' marking the beginning of her struggle to retain her identity.

As Sen begins her new job, she faces ridicule from many of her fellow workers in the bathhouse. Despite this, Kamaji and a worker named Lin offer her support, helping her navigate her new life.

Sen unwittingly allows a mysterious spirit named No-Face into the bathhouse, believing he is a customer. As No-Face begins to demand food in exchange for gold, chaos ensues as he grows frustrated and consumes bathhouse employees.

During the turmoil, Sen realizes that Haku is in grave danger as a dragon being attacked by shikigami. She follows him into Yubaba's penthouse, uncovering important details about a magical seal that has cursed Haku.

Determined to save Haku, Sen embarks on a journey to return the magic seal to Zeniba. Alongside Lin, No-Face, and a transformed version of Boh, they make their way using train tickets gifted by Kamaji.

As tensions rise, Yubaba nearly orders the slaughter of Sen's parents. However, Haku leverages Boh's disappearance to negotiate Sen's release, setting the stage for her ultimate test of resolve.

Meeting Zeniba provides Sen with valuable insights about her journey. She learns about the manipulation Haku has suffered at the hands of Yubaba and receives a magical hairband that symbolizes her friendship with Zeniba.

Sen recalls a past interaction with Haku related to the Kohaku River, slowly piecing together his true identity as its spirit. This revelation becomes pivotal as they confront Yubaba one last time.

Yubaba challenges Sen to identify her parents among a herd of pigs. With a renewed sense of purpose, Sen confidently claims that none of the pigs are her parents, leading to her liberation from the spell.

With her identity restored, Sen prepares to leave the spirit world alongside Haku. As Chihiro crosses back to her parents, she clutches the magical hairband, symbolizing her extraordinary adventure and growth.
