      A visual masterpiece about a scared little girl's breathtaking journey of self-discovery. All of the fun is getting there.

      Charlotte Observer

      Yet its visual surrealism, identity-bending and strong social/ecological message make it as much an allegory as a fable.

      New York Daily News

      Turns everything we know about the contemporary world on its head, and substitutes it with one in which spirits, monsters, magicians and animals mix it up in a carnival of energy, good humor and freewheeling illusion.

      Probably like nothing you've ever seen before. In a cool world, it would be guaranteed not only the Best Animated Feature Oscar, but Best Picture as well.

      Serenely stunning.

      Wondrously strange and just plain wonderful.

      A Japanese cross between "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz" -- is such a landmark in animation that labeling it a masterpiece almost seems inadequate.

      It will disturb you as much as thrill you, make you wonder whether the boundaries between life and death, reality and fantasy, imagination and insanity are ever what they appear to be.
