why it may have been successful - or wasn't 

• The movies spirited away was a huge success in Japan mainly because that was the country that the film originated from, and the people there are usually aware of this kind of style of films, since there is many anime shows/films that people are already aware of, so now they are basically fond of this style

• Overall in most countries it has made a lot of money due to being by the very well known person "Hayo Miyazaki" who is known for making huge anime who also made the huge hit movie "My Friend Totoro", and this movie is very similar, but had a bit of a darker feeling to it.

• This film has many interesting characters, both that are a mix of cute characters which could appeal to children and terrifying characters with very interesting stories behind them, which could seem very interesting to others, such as the mysterious character "no face" which appears a lot randomly in the film, and nobody seemed to know nothing about it, and by the end of the film we are still left questioning what exactly he was, and what he wanted, which made the film much more interesting to watch for people

• This film has a very good classical joyful feeling to it, which makes it a hit for children and parents with kids, but with all the darkness in it, it makes it very interesting to watch for others who are into dark movies. The film is for everyone to enjoy, and is not just a film that could be suitable for kids, and is a movie that also adults could enjoy, with all the darkness and good plot of the story, it made the movie a big hit for people of all ages.

• The whole art style that Studio Ghibli is very interesting, since rather than using just computers to make his movies, he hand draws every single frame and then puts them onto the computer, and layers each frame next to each other, which is a very unique way to animate. This way of animating, makes his animations so iconic, and interesting to watch, which is one of the reasons this movie, which is one of his most famous movies, is so successful.

differences between success in different countries - reasons for differences 

• Compared to other countries such as the United Kingdom, there is a huge difference in box office since in the United Kingdom the film made $1,383,023 when in Japan it made $229,607,878, which is a $228,224,855 difference. The reason why the two countries have such a big difference in box office figures, is mainly because in the United Kingdom anime films are not as popular, as they are in Japan, even though, this movie is still very successful in the United Kingdom.

• In countries such as Poland, the movie did not achieve as much money as it did in others such as Hong Kong, since it only got $27,787 which is not that much compared to others where it made much more money, such as in Australia it made $154,349. The reason for this could possibly be because people there are not as fond of anime films, compared to other countries, which would explain why it is not that successful there

 

• Japan is the country where the film made the most money, and was one of the biggest anime movies in Japan, the reason for this is because this is the country where the movie originated from, and most people in this country are very fond of the anime style in films, and Studio Ghibli films are very popular in that country, but compared to countries such as Turkey where it made £36,860, which is one of the countries where it made the least amount of money, since in there people are not as aware of Studio Ghibli films as Japan. 

• There are some countries where the movie did very well in box office, mainly in countries such as Australia where it got $154,349 and in countries such as Germany it was much more successful since it got $1,981,457 The reason for this is mainly because Studio Ghibi films are very famous in those countries, and this movie itself is one film that is very recognizable in those countries, but it seems that they are more famous in Germany rather than Australia 

• The second country where the film was a huge success is South Korea, where it earned $11,382,770 ,  the reason for this is mainly because just like Japan, the movie has some asian culture fetures in it, which appeals to people in those countries, since they can relate to the movie, with the setting and style of it, not to mention the setting is actually based on "down town Juifen" in Taiwan, which can actually be visited in real life, which is a very cool feature that made this movie so popular.
