InfluenceMEDIUM

Miyazaki has named Alice among the books behind this one, and the shape is unmistakable: a bored girl passes through a threshold into a world with rules she must learn fast, meets a sequence of imperious creatures who are offended by ignorance of protocol, is told that eating and drinking will change what she is, and has to hold on to who she is in order to get home. Yubaba taking Chihiro's name is Carroll's wood where things have no names, made into the plot's central threat.

About the work

千と千尋の神隠し (Spirited Away)

English : Beyond the tunnel was a mysterious town. There were places that should not exist. Things happened that could not happen. Ten-year-old Chihiro wanders into a world where humans are forbidden to go. In this town of wonder and mystery, what Chihiro learns is a deep sense of powerlessness and... a tiny hope. "Please let me work here!" Gradually, Chihiro's sleeping "will to live" is awakened. Japanese (original): トンネルのむこうは、不思議の町でした。ありえない場所があった。ありえないことが起こった。10歳の少女千尋の迷い込んだのは人間が入ってはいけない世界。驚きと不思議の町で千尋が知るのは大きな無力感と……小さな希望。働かせてくださいっ。眠っていた千尋の“生きる力”がしだいに呼び醒まされてゆく。
