Saw it at the theatre when it debuted (I see all of Miyazaki's works as soon as
they hit our shores). Good movie. Not as enjoyable as Princess Mononoke or as
transcendent as Spirited Away. Probably because he didn't write the script

Actually, Spirited Away is considered his masterpiece. It's regarded by
critics and most animation lovers--especially Japanese--as the better of the
two. It made about eighty million more worldwide than Princess Mononoke, and
is generally described as more magical, mythical, and wondrous.
I'd say that Princess Mononoke is way scarier than Spirited Away. Sprited Away
has some strange looking characters, such as the witch, the creature No
Face, and a mud type creature that oozes all over a bathhouse. But it's not a
menacing-feeling movie. It's got lots of heart and humour.
