this is the movie for all ages. I enjoyed it very much

so - firteen - did you like it?

I thought it was darn cool.

And I'm 45 (still)....

Too be honest, I think I WAS too old for this movie. I'm 38, but I really feel much younger. I buy music geared towards a younger crowd and one of my all time fave movies is "Babe". I even married a girl 13 years younger (he he). But "Spirited Away" bored me to tears.

Why? Well, first of all I'm not into animation much. I do like some things with intricate CGI, but not typical animation. This movie didn't really stand out much in that dept. The story really was a rehashing of others. Whatever philosophical statement was made, to me, was just silly (freakin' River Spirits....ugh.)
I remember renting "Iron Giant" after reading some good reviews and I had the same feeling. I'm too old to enjoy this.

My wife loved "Spirited Away", but she also loves animation. I won't quit on animated movies, but this just didn't do it for me.
Time to go drink my prune juice! You know, I believe one other reason I wasn't into it is because of the video games I've played. I played "Alice" for example and the thrill of being able to control your player in a more interesting environment appeals to me much more. I felt like "Spirited Away" was like a video game where there was no control or very interesting graphics. I'm not totally slagging the movie. There WERE some nice scenes and a few funny little characters.

Exactly!!! I agree!!!

Adults are enjoying cartoons more than kids these days.

I am 26 and I think "Spirited Away" is one of the best animated movies I've ever seen.

If you are an animation person, then go for it. I'm 23 myself and enjoyed it. Now own the DVD.
