Spirited Away was probably the best movie I saw in 2002. The story was epic, the animation phenomenal, and it was just plain cute. I had all but given up hope that it would win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, given what happened last year. (Shrek beat out Monster’s Inc). I figured “Lilo & Stitch” would win; while a good movie, it falls apart at the end.
They will be releasing the region 1 DVD on April 15th. The region 3 DVD has been available for quite sometime now, but as usual Disney wants world domination when it comes to DVD distribution. So those of us in the good ol’ U. S. of A. can’t buy or rent this DVD until Disney says we can. Or you can modify your DVD player so that it can play any DVDs, but of course that would involve breaking a federal law…..
