Spirited Away 25th Anniversary at the Castro Theatre

Summoned back to the big screen for its 25th anniversary, Spirited Away brings Hayao Miyazaki's hand-drawn fantasy to the Castro Theatre. The story follows ten-year-old Chihiro as her family takes a wrong turn into what seems to be an abandoned amusement park. When her parents are transformed into pigs, Chihiro must find work in a magical bathhouse for spirits, where she meets a boy named Haku and a silent wanderer called No-Face.

A landmark of Japanese animation, the film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and remains a favorite for its imaginative creatures and gentle coming-of-age story. This all-ages screening offers a chance to see a hand-drawn classic in the Castro Theatre.
