The Spirited Away Blu-ray from GKIDS and Shout! Factory is the modern North American release of Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award-winning masterpiece: the film in high definition on Blu-ray, plus a DVD copy, with both the English dub and the original Japanese audio in lossless 5.1 surround. For anyone building a Studio Ghibli Blu-ray shelf, this is the edition most collectors recommend.
This listing is a pre-owned copy of the October 2017 release, in Good condition. The Blu-ray is Region A and the DVD is Region 1, so both play in standard US players.
New copies of this release originally shipped with a 12-page booklet and, on the first pressing, a slipcover. Because this is a pre-owned copy, those printed extras are not guaranteed.
Ten-year-old Chihiro wanders with her parents into what looks like an abandoned theme park. By nightfall her parents have been transformed, and she is trapped in a bathhouse for spirits run by the witch Yubaba. To survive and free her family, she has to work, keep her name and find courage she did not know she had.
Spirited Away won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003, the first hand-drawn and the first non-English-language film to win that award. It also shared the Golden Bear, the top prize at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival. More than two decades later it is still regularly named among the greatest animated films ever made.
Both are here in lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Watch with the English dub, featuring Daveigh Chase as Chihiro, or switch to the original Japanese cast with English subtitles. Joe Hisaishi's score sounds especially rich on the lossless tracks.
Spirited Away was first released on Blu-ray in North America by Disney in 2015. After Disney's Ghibli distribution deal ended, GKIDS and Shout! Factory reissued the film in 2017. This GKIDS edition uses a higher video bitrate than the Disney disc, which gives a cleaner image. The Disney release had a short introduction and a featurette that are not on this edition, but the core extras carry over.
Pair Spirited Away with Tales From Earthsea on Blu-ray + DVD, another Studio Ghibli release, and explore more in our anime on Blu-ray and DVD and animation sections. Unsure about formats? Our guide to DVD vs Blu-ray breaks it down.

Wonderful movie!
This movie has staying power. I love it, my boys love it. It’s one of those we watch again and again. It was included in one of the streaming platforms we subscribed to so we got to watch it many times for free. We bought it because it’s a keeper. Great for all ages. The artwork and music are beautiful.
