What was the movie about?
The movie is about a young girl (Chihiro) with her parents who discover a place for spirits. When something happens to her parents Chihiro has to work at a spirit wash house.

What I thought about the movie.
I thought the movie was strange. It was very..."creepy" and scary, in a way, with spirits and all.


What I learned about making films.
I learned creepy can be interesting.


Why I think other kids should see this film.
I think other kids should see this movie because then they can experience the strange side of Ghibli.
