Publisher's Synopsis

When 'Spirited Away' won the Oscar for best animated film in 2002, Hayao Miyazaki proved that animé was much more than cartoons for children or a ploy to sell trading cards. Susan Napier demonstrates how animé can be used to explore important social and cultural issues in a sophisticated and entertaining way.
