Line 29:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Yubaba is arguably one. Although somewhat greedy and rather strict, she is [[Noble Demon|fair]] and [[I Gave My Word|doesn't go back on her word]] when Chihiro passes her final test correctly. On the [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains]], she would be a Type I or possibly IV.
* [[Author Appeal]]: A [[Plucky Girl|determined heroine]], a flood, young love, flying sequences and precipitous heights.
* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Itsumo Nando Demo" (''Always With Me'') by Youmi Kimura. Interestingly, the song actually helped inspire the film, instead of being written for it. It was written for a unrealised Miyazaki film titled ''Rin the Chimney Sweeper''. While working, Miyazaki would repeatedly listen to the song. The director believed it's perfect for ''Spirited Away'' and used it in the end credits.
** It's also missing some key elements of an Award Bait Song, most notably the lack of "sparkly" synth.
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: Chihiro's parents and the other humans turned into pigs.
