Spirited Away was a smash hit in Japan, but when it came time for the movie to be released in the US, Disney did it no favors.
The Big Picture Hayao Miyazaki is a filmmaker whose entire career is made up of many movies one might call his masterpiece. Whether you are partial to the engrossing beauty and simplicity of My Neighbor Totoro, the complexity of morals in The Wind Rises, or the epic stakes of Princess Mononoke, the case can be made for most of the entries in his filmography. One of his most popular films, the one that was the biggest breakthrough with Western audiences is Spirited Away.
In 1997, Miyazaki debuted Princess Mononoke, a tale about nature hanging in the balance from the perspective of a cursed prince. Like the yet-to-come Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke was a historic box-office success in Japan and a major critical success both locally and abroad. But with a much more adult tone and some graphic violence, Princess Mononoke was not the movie Disney was hoping for when they heard they had the rights to the Japanese box office success supposedly about a princess.
In early 2002, Spirited Away won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, their top prize, and the only animated film to this day to do so. With a prestigious win, the film became a little more desirable for the company, but it still took persuading. This persuasion came at the behest of Pixar founder John Lasseter, who happened to be an old friend of the famed animator Miyazaki.
