Spirited away is a charming(if not slightly disturbing) Japanese cartoon. It follows the story of Chihiro a little girl who is sad because her family is moving. Through a series of stupid moves by her parents Poor Chihiro gets stuck in the scary but also mesmerising spirit world where she encounters new friends,new jobs,new enemies and first love(awwww.) The animation is two dimensional and beautifully drawn. It made me long for the days before computer animation(don't get me wrong Ratatouille was lovely. And it made me hungry.) This film while somewhat darker then its American relatives (Pinocchio) but still definitely intended for children. Unlike my favorite animated film Persepolis.
This children's film lead me to create my five favorite kids movie list! Enjoy!
1.) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory
2.)Ella Enchanted
3.)Charlie and the chocolate Factory
4.)The Wizard of Oz
5.)The Secret Garden

I don't know if I agree with your placement of Spirited Away in the children's section of the Blockbuster's shelves because I think there were many dark elements to it. But I think your overall analysis of the movie is interesting and insightful.
