Spirited Away - Live on Stage

Just finished watching "Spirited Away - Live on Stage" released by TOHO.
"Spirited Away - Live on Stage" is a faithful live action adaptation of the classic 2002 Studio Ghibli animated movie "Spirited Away," which won the Academy Award for best animated film and was also responsible for Walt Disney Studios forming a brief partnership with Studio Ghibli.
Now this live action performance is actually longer than the original movie, but it matches the story and pacing of it's source material exactly and there is no filler fluff to stretch out the performance, which in this release actually includes two separate performances with Chihiro being portrayed by two different actresses, Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi in each one.
Would a live action adaption of "Spirited Away" be made? Well, perhaps, since a live action sequel of "Whisper of the Heart" was made. And even though it was a different animation studio that originated "Star Blazers," there is a live action "Star Blazers" movie. So never say never.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
