ARTICLES RELATED TO Spirited Away - Cast |  |  |  | Spirited Away - Cast: Encyclopedia II - Spirited Away - StoryIn the movie, Chihiro Ogino is a little girl who is moving to a new town with her parents, Akio and Yuko (Yūko). She is clearly unhappy about the move and appears rather petulant. They lose their way and come across a tunnel, and out of curiosity enter it, unaware that it actually provides access into a spirit world—specifically, to a spirit bathhouse, where the spirits and gods (drawn from the Shinto religious tradition) go to rest and relax. The family enters what is apparently an abandoned theme park populated with restaurants, ...

 |  |  | Spirited Away - Cast: Encyclopedia II - Spirited Away - Differences between the Japanese and English versionsMany changes were made to the film by John Lasseter and the other writers of the English dub of the film, which has caused some argument amongst fans over which version is superior.
