Venue: Odeon, Covent Garden (Japanese version)

You really can't find parking in London these days!

I drove around for 45 minutes, before parking a couple of miles away. It might have something to do with Blaine being let out of the box today.

After a quick jog, I made it to the cinema having only missed 8 minutes of the film. C had cunningly bought the tickets so we went straight in.

The animation was up to the usual Studio Ghibli standard. I loved the details that Miyazaki bothered with: Chihiro tripping when running up a hill, or little bits of herb falling from Kamaji's hand. How Chihiro kept running into walls was hilarious.

The story reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, which may have been intentional - I haven't checked. I will have to watch this again.
