Movies like Spirited Away
Hayao Miyazaki sends a sulky child into a spirit world that runs on its own dream logic, and never once talks down to her or to you. If you fell for its hand-drawn wonder and the way it treats growing up as something strange and earned, these belong next to it.
What connects them
Hand-drawn animation with dream logic, quiet wonder and real emotional stakes.
