Them being children is the most important part as that is the best representations of emotions without implied more adult actions of it. I enjoyed Children Chasing Lost Voices towards the end, but the first half was brutally dragged on. | ||

Yes? Isn't that the whole plot of Spirited Away? Isn't it similar also for Howl's Moving Castle? I mean, aren't those exactly underlying showcase of the character where they faulted in many ways and, towards the end of the movie, resolve them through a form of rite of passage? | ||

Howl's Moving Castle's Setting and Spirited Away are both portrayals of this. We can throw Ponyo which, in my opinion, is a slightly weaker version of the themes and sentiments shown in Spirited Away (still loved it). | ||
