Spirited Away

Spirited Away is an animation revolving around a young girl and her family moving to a new home. Before they reach their destination they are brought into a "parallel universe" showing their true character. This animation is very much about greed as well as love and kindness.

In Spirited Away the animator uses bright and vibrant colors to illustrate a surreal world, even at the colors are saying something. In Metropolis, the colors feel darker, but doesn't give off an ominous feeling. These two animations, in general, are very good examples of developed worlds and world views, unfortunate characteristics of some sorts. Animation techniques such as camera angles and panning emphasizes hierarchy or importance of one thing versus another.
