Spirited Away, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, opened on July 20, 2001, to critical and commercial acclaim. For 19 years, the film was the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time before Demon Slayer: Mugen Train steamrolled through over the last year. Spirited Away was the first, and currently the only, anime film to win Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.
