Richmond_Lee Miyazaki toppled the mouse!

Spirited Away probably had way less screens and advertising $$$$ than what Disney-Pixar pours in

ToyStory4 harshly Mid compared to Spirited Away 💁‍♂️

Spirited away is one of the best movie I have watched ! It is so iconic!

That's fine by me

understanding of artistic sentiments among Asian civilizations will be easier

mayhem_crimson Well this isn’t surprising

It’s what they deserved

Classic and a great director

AyaLisaCosplay As it should. Spirited Away is a masterpiece

AndiSachs Yus!

Momo07458717 Well to be honest TS3 was bad enough without a 4 so I would much rather see the other too

Mark_DMcKinney imagine toy story thinking : that movie came out 18 years ago we dont have to compete at the box office with that ! lmfao

I haven’t seen ToyStory4 yet but Spirited Away is such a beautiful movie I would watch it first (again) than any other film at any chance.

LOVEEE this movie

Spirit Away is timeless, not really surprised it did better 🌞
