Spirited Away
Spirited Away is a hand animated film created by Hayao Miyazaki in 2001. It's about a little girl who discovers a magical world in order to try and save her family from a curse, and the girl ends up making many friends and overcoming challenges beyond her years. I thought Spirited Away was very good, I loved the story, the characters were very likable, but the animation was easily the best part. Scenes were consistently beautiful and very well thought out, the textures were pleasant, and overall it was a very, very good movie. I would say they used hand drawn animation to make the movie feel more personal, to make you real invest in the characters and become immersed in the story. 
This shot really tells a lot of things about this film. First off, the drawings are beautiful, it's very colorful and detailed. Secondly, it shows all the friends that she made along the way, and really tells a story in itself. Everything about this movie was very pleasant and happy, and it was overall just a very good movie, one of Miyazaki's best, though I still prefer My Neighbor Totoro
