Elysian Film Group and Anonymous Content are thrilled to unveil the official trailer and poster for the highly anticipated UK and ROI re-release of Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy Award-winning animated masterpiece, SPIRITED AWAY. Longtime fans and new viewers of Studio Ghibli alike can experience the fantastical film on the big screen once again on 26th December 2024.
Chihiro’s family is moving to a new house, but when they stop on the way to explore an abandoned village, her parents undergo a mysterious transformation and Chihiro is whisked into a world of fantastic spirits ruled over by the sorceress Yubaba. Put to work in a magical bathhouse for spirits and demons, Chihiro must use all her wits to survive in this strange new place, find a way to free her parents and return to the normal world. Overflowing with imaginative creatures and thrilling storytelling, Spirited Away became a worldwide smash hit, and is one of the most critically-acclaimed films of all time.
Written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary Academy Award-winning filmmaker, SPIRITED AWAY’s UK and Ireland cinema re-release follows the successful summer theatrical re-release of his family favourite MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO, and the incredible success of Miyazaki’s 2024 hit, the Academy Award-winning THE BOY AND THE HERON. THE BOY AND THE HERON premiered in the UK and ROI Boxing Day last year and went on to become the highest-grossing Studio Ghibli release in UK history, and recently soared in the UK Home Entertainment chart.
