History Awesome / SpiritedAway

* The movie in general. It's considered one of the greatest animated films ever made and in Japan, it's the highest-grossing film of ''all-time'', even beating out ''{{Film/Titanic|1997}}''!.

** To explain, in the beginning, Chihiro is whining that her family's moving -- she has to leave her old neighborhood and all her friends. At the end her dad concedes that moving might be a little intimidating and that it's okay to be a little scared. In between, Chihiro's taken on some of the most frightening creatures in the Spirit World; the normal world no longer seems so daunting.

--> '''Chihiro''': (''in a matter-of-fact tone'') I think I can handle it.
** To explain, Chihiro's dad mentions that moving to a new neighborhood might be a little intimidating and that it's okay to be a little scared. Chihiro's taken on some of the most frightening creatures in the Spirit World, the normal world doesn't stand a chance.

* The fact that Chihiro stood up to a bloated and monstrous No Face who spent most of the movie putting the bathhouse in jeopardy by eating most of the workers and then eventually leading No Face out of the bathhouse when she accidentally caused him to vomit and he goes on an intense rampage through the bathhouse.

** Chihiro's entire reaction- or lack thereof- to Haku in this state is simply amazing. It really speaks to her badassery. She saw her crush and rescuer turn into a roaring, thrashing, bleeding terror of an animal ''and completely ignored it'' to do what needed to be done... Namely, opening up his '''horrifyingly''' deadly-looking jaws, gingerly inserting her whole arm ''past his giant fangs'' and into his throat to administer life-saving medicine, and then holding on to his jaws for dear life as he starts convulsing and destroying the room around her, all whilst maintaining a fearless, determined expression on her face. '''Holy shit.'''

* Haku standing his ground in the most awesome way possible when Yubaba flies toward him, raging [[spoiler:about her missing baby]] and breathing fire in his face.

* Chihiro sticking her ''entire arm'' into Haku's toothy maw to give him the medicine, and then holding onto his head for dear life until he swallows it, while his lashing tail trashes the rest of the room.

** YMMV: This troper found it almost unbearably lame. We ''know'' that Chihiro has matured during the movie, there was no need to tie it around a brick and throw it.
** It actully wasn't a bad way to close out the movie. Even if it was obvious it at least shows shes more then willing to face the future now.
