Sinopse

Chihiro Ogino, a 10-year-old girl who is stubborn, spoiled, and naïve, is not pleased when she and her parents discover an abandoned amusement park on their way to their new home. As dusk falls, she realizes there is more to this place than meets the eye, as strange things begin to happen. Ghostly apparitions and food that turns her parents into pigs are just the beginning—Chihiro has unwittingly crossed over into the spirit world. Now trapped, she must summon the courage to live and work amongst spirits, with the help of the enigmatic Haku and the unique characters she meets along the way.
