Sprited Away
I am not going to lie: I did not have high hopes for this movie and put off watching it for as long as I could. Once I got into the stroy, however, I was singularly amazed by both the animation and the character development. It was much for thought-provoking and entertaining than I anticipated, and, in short, I ended up loving Spirited Away and plan to watch it again!
I taped my copy off of TCM and the introduction at the beginning said Miyazaki always makes his movies for a reason. He saw how apathetic and lazy the thirteen-year-old daughter of one of his friends was, and a movie was born.

I would also be interested in the discussion ?that was to take place at the library?..if there are any insights from that.
Woudn't you hate to be the thirteen year old daughter of the friend, though? I noticed that the voice of the woman that Chihero is working under (in the voice over version) sounds a lot like the voice of the character Megorah (sp?) in the Disney version of Hercules. Did anyone else notice this?
Well, regarding the discussion at the library, all of us left right after the movie was finished. I don't know about the others, but I was barely able to fit the movie itself into my schedule. Sorry I can't give you any more info on that.
Stacey, I bow before your ear for voices! Have you ever done any acting, by chance? Actress Susan Egan, who was the voice of Lin in the English-language Spirited Away, also was the voice of Megara in Disney's Hercules and its spinoffs. Here's her IMDB filmography.
