Night on the Galaxy Railway (Galaxy Railway Night) is a masterpiece by Japanese writer Kenji Miyazawa. Hayao Miyazaki used this work as a reference for the Umihara Electric Railway scene in the animation.
Details: The shadow of a single girl appears on the platform of Numahara Station; it is the silhouette of a character that Hayao Miyazaki once planned to make about a train animation.
In the animation, the sound effects of the scene where Chihiro's father drives a car on a mountain road were recorded using an actual Audi car of the same model driving on an uneven road.
The car model that appears in the animation is the Audi A4.
The scene of the mother eating chicken and asking Chihiro to enjoy the food together was originally performed by Yasuko Sawaguchi, the character's voice actor, while holding her fingers in her mouth.
Later, in order to increase the sense of presence, the production staff went to a fast food restaurant to buy fried chicken, and asked Yasuko Sawaguchi to dub the scene while eating it.
The bitter pill (ニガダンゴ) given to Chihiro by the river god was changed from the word wormwood (ニガヨモギ).
The idea came from a friend of Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki.
He believes that women who work in restaurants, even if they are originally shy, will continue to improve their communication skills when receiving male customers in order to get a certain amount of compensation, and men who go to hotels will also interact with hotel girls.
Change your communication style through interaction.
This thought inspired Hayao Miyazaki to come up with a story in which a previously arrogant girl suddenly breaks into an unknown world and has to interact with various characters in order to survive, thus improving her ability to deal with others.
The first trailer is a short trailer with Chihiro accidentally entering a different world, with some elements of horror style.
Later, the second trailer focused on the interaction between Chihiro and the Faceless Man.
The entire work of digitized "Spirited Away" uses computer digital technology to create images.

Software algorithm to create the effect of zooming in from far away.
In terms of color, the "Color Management System" developed by IMAGICA is used to increase the number of colors available for screen production.
Requesting assistance from overseas When producing this work, Ghibli faced the possibility that the work schedule would not be able to meet the premiere date, so it adopted a plan to request assistance from animation studios overseas in Japan for the first time since its founding.
