Since the plot of the theatrical production scheduled for 2022 is based entirely off the original animated movie, there's no room for confusion about the details of the story, which is as follows: and what a staff it is! However, before we jump the gun, it is imperative that we preceed with a brief account of what the story of Spirited Away is about. Not only was it a successful venture, it is of interest to note that Studio Ghibli is involved in both these remakes, meaning that the staff involved in this project is working from experience. The benefits of such an omission have already been tested to fruition in a similar adaptation for Princess Mononoke held in 2013 at London’s New Diorama Theatre. This means that the remake will almost certainly omit the most underwhelming aspect of typical live-action productions: the CGI. The most indicative sign of this fact is that the remake has been advertised with particular emphasis on it being a "live-action play adapted for the stage". Spirited Away seems to be rather acutely aware of this trend and it would seem that the staff involved in the project have taken certain measures to prevent it from joining the ever-growing list of occupants in the live-action hall of shame.
