Spirited Away
Spirited Away is an animated film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. It is about a whiny young girl moving into a new town, but suddenly finding herself in a bathhouse for the spirits, with her parents turned into pigs. There are many dangerous spirits and the owner of the bath house, Baba Yaga, is a scary witch who steals the little girl's name.

Cover Art
The original Japanese cover art has Chihiro standing in front of her parents' pig pen looking back resolutely. The top shows a scene of the spirit-occupied fair grounds.

The American art keeps Chihiro, but removes the pig pen. The spirit-occupied fairground is now at the bottom, with No-face hanging out, and the scene fades up into blackness. I kind of prefer the American art because the black field causes the viewer to focus on Chihiro.
