2 Synopsis Key terms Anime: a general term to cover all forms of Japanese animation from cartoons through to feature films (not to be confused with Manga see below) Manga: Japanese comic strips or comic books (these are not animated but often provide the source material for anime) Spirited Away is an animated feature or anime from Japan with the quality of a modern fairy tale. It tells the story of a young girl and her parents who are moving house. On this journey the family loses their way. They find themselves in what they assume to be an abandoned theme park. As they explore, the fantastical elements of the story emerge. The parents overindulge in what appears to be free food and as a result they change magically into two giant pigs. Their daughter, Chihiro, is alone and must find a way to get her parents back and return to the normal world. To do this she must enter employment in a bath house for the spirit world. There are many weird and wonderful residents here. Yubaba is the seemingly evil mistress of the house who tricks Chihiro into signing away her name for a job. Haku is the boy/dragon/river spirit who helps Chihiro and many others. Throughout her adventure she has to take on responsibility and face her fears in order to escape. Eventually, through help from some of the residents and the help she gives them, she is able to triumph. Introduction Spirited Away was produced by perhaps Japan s most famous animation studio and animator, Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. The films produced by this studio have become increasingly popular over recent years. Spirited Away is important in this wider degree of popularity and in many ways opened the door to a mainstream audience for Japanese animation. There were many popular films and television series from Japan before Spirited Away but none on the scale of its success. The director, Hayao Miyazaki, is sometimes referred to as the Japanese Disney, which perhaps only accurately reflects his level of success and fame rather than the films themselves. In many ways it is how these (and other anime films) differ from Disney and other western animation which interests and entertains audiences. Even within family films, anime often includes darker subjects involving violence and more adult material not found in their western equivalent. In offering a vision that entertains adults and children alike, Spirited Away provides something that not only looks very different from what we are used to but which feels very different too. Its commercial and critical success has led to western audiences exploring a much wider range of anime and in some cases Japanese culture itself. Key terms CGI: computer-generated imagery both in animation and live action, this technique involves using sophisticated software to manufacture the image (Toy Story (1995) is an early success in popularising this style for animation) Style and genre In style, Spirited Away is very much a traditional example of hand-drawn animation. Although computers were used in its production, it still relies upon thousands of drawings. These are highly detailed and reflect many aspects of traditional Japanese art and culture. From the smallest detail to the broadest stroke, we are in a world which is unmistakably Japanese. This old-fashioned style contrasts with the current western standard of CGI-based animation in feature films. 2
3 Section C, Case study: Spirited Away The hand-drawn animation heightens the feeling of strangeness that is one of Spirited Away s most appealing features. Any western references that we can pick out are there to make a point. The fact that the family is travelling to their new home in an Audi car is a symbol of the change that has come to Japan in general. 2 The strange world of Spirited Away The style of anime draws its influences from many sources. Elements of traditional Japanese art and storytelling and more modern television can be found. Indeed when we enjoy an anime feature we are taking in a wider experience of Japanese culture which, if we choose to research it further, can increase our enjoyment even more. Themes and issues 3 Themes and issues in Spirited Away 4 Chihiro, the central character Childhood Cultural change Family values Friendship The strongest theme in Spirited Away is that of childhood. Hayao Miyazaki says that the inspiration for the story came from meeting the sullen 10-year-old daughter of a friend and his desire to make a film that would give her some useful lessons. These lessons provide us with the film s main themes. Young girls as the main characters are a common form of story in anime. This is referred to as Shojo in Japan and uses the perspective and situation of a young girl to explore many themes and stories. These can be issues of cultural change, family values, growing up or a convenient way to inject the cuteness factor that is very popular in Japan. Chihiro is Spirited Away s Shojo. She starts the film as a whining character, complaining about the move and 3
4 5 No Face comes from the spirit world the number of flowers bought for her on her birthday. The journey that awaits her is the director s way of telling her counterparts in the real world that she should act a little less spoiled and be aware of more things than herself. Chihiro develops over the course of the film into a more self-reliant and confident individual who, by the end, is no longer spoiled and is far more aware of who she is and what is important. The most personal thing she comes to value is her family. The simple idea of you never know what you have until it s gone is played out through her initial isolation and her struggle to get back what she has lost. Never was the adult request to grow up so imaginatively and impressively realised. The themes or lessons beyond this central one are more general and involve the wider audience as well as any sulky teenagers. One is Hayao Miyazaki s concern over the clash of the old and the new Japan. The new Japan is found mainly in the attitude and actions of the parents their consumerist obsessions, their greed when faced with the food and their casual attitude towards paying for it with their credit card. Although this world is depicted only briefly, its influence is strong. The appetite for more things and more money to pay for them as a dominant force is one that most western audiences can readily recognise as well. The old Japan is reflected in the fantasy world Chihiro finds herself in when her parents disappear. It is the world of the traditional bath house a world of traditional architecture and strange, steam-driven machines. Nostalgia for many bygone eras can be felt here. The world is no paradise but it has a simplicity and purity that is new and alien to Chihiro. Ultimately, the greed of the modern infects this world too as the residents hunger for gold almost destroys it. They continue to give the no face demon what they think it wants in return for increasing amounts of gold despite its almost insatiable appetite. It is up to Chihiro and her childhood innocence to give it what it really wants not things or empty sensation but company and friendship alongside her on her quest. Increasingly in Chihiro we see that Miyazaki is saying it is not too late to realise what is important. 4 The next major theme is similar to the old versus the new and it is about the impact of the modern world on the environment. We are introduced to a world of spirits that represent aspects of the natural world (a more traditional and complex Japanese way of considering mother nature ).
5 Although this theme is present throughout most of the film, it is dealt with most directly in the stink demon or stink god incident. When a huge pile of stinking mud and ooze arrives at the bath house, it is Chihiro s first major challenge to bathe it. Chihiro surprises both herself and the bath house residents in her determination to succeed. As she bathes the demon, she finds what appears to be some kind of thorn in its side. As everybody joins in to pull it clear, a stream of modern pollution and rubbish emerges that reveals the stink demon to be a river spirit that has been polluted by the modern world. A clear lesson in how we should ignore the natural world at our peril. The story is brought to a conclusion when Chihiro learns the final lesson, of self-reliance and the importance of love and support for herself and others. Her journey towards self-knowledge and her ability to save herself and her parents has been achieved through her: childlike love for Haku, another river spirit friendship with Yubaba s baby and pet and No Face adventure involving the return of a magic stamp to Yubaba s sister, Zeniba. This redemption, achieved by concentrating on what is important and on other people rather than just oneself, is the most important lesson for Chihiro. In the film s closing scene she has become a hero for virtually all of the residents of this magical realm. Even though the scheming Yubaba tries to foil the happy ending, Chihiro has learned enough to see through her trick. Through these final lessons, Chihiro is reunited with both her parents and the real world. Despite these familiar ingredients for the happy ending, it is not so straightforward. As they drive away from the vanishing spirit world, Chihiro has only taken the first steps on her journey to adulthood in the real world. We are left with mixed feelings of nostalgia for the world she has left behind and doubt about the world she is being driven towards. Summary So why is a children s anime film worthy of our attention? At the most basic level it is a charming story told through stunning visuals, the like of which we may never have seen before. On a deeper level it contains many things for us to think about. We can pick up on more than the three or four discussed here as we watch the film. The lessons Hayao Miyazaki sets out to teach that sulky 10-year-old are ones from which we can all learn. Additional resources Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki offer us a long list of other anime films we can enjoy, each with their own lessons to teach. The more famous include: Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind (1984) The story of a young princess set in a future world where human civilisation has largely been destroyed. Princess Nausicaä leads a struggle to balance the worlds of humanity and earth. My Neighbour Totoro (1988) Two girls move to the country and discover a new world and a new friend in the creature Totoro. 5
6 Princess Mononoke (1997) An exiled Prince quests for a cure to his demon-inflicted curse. He becomes involved in a conflict between Iron Town, Samurai, the ancient Spirit World and Princess Mononoke. Howl s Moving Castle (2004) A young girl is transformed and explores what it is like to be a 90-year-old woman. Along her journey to lift the curse she seeks refuge in Howl s Moving Castle (adapted from an English children s book by Diana Wynne Jones). Outside of Studio Ghibli, the world of anime is extensive and often confusing. Some are feature films, some are television series, some are both and some are made to go straight to DVD. There are many publications and websites that can help: Animated Films in the Virgin Film Series (ISBN ) is a decent basic guide to some of the main films. The recent SFX Collection magazine guides to Japanimation are good general introductions. The magazine Neo provides good current coverage of all aspects of eastern popular culture. In terms of specific films, the two other anime critical and commercial successes are Akira (1988) and Ghost in the Shell (1995). While both are based in science fiction rather than fantasy, they also showcase startling and impressive imagery. Akira is set in a post third world war Tokyo of military dictatorship and teenage street gangs. It deals with the themes of nuclear destruction, human frailty and adolescence, among others. Ghost in the Shell is set in a slightly less dystopian future dominated by computer technology and the new crime that arises from this. It deals with the themes of the role of the state, identity and our relationship with technology. Whatever direction any further study into anime might take, it is sure to open up a whole new world of film, all the more interesting and rewarding for its cultural difference and alienness from what we may be used to. 6
