Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki's sublime, fluid masterpiece about a 10-year-old girl lost in a shadowy amusement park for the spirits is a triumph of psychological depth and artistic brilliance offered as the magical adventures of one skinny girl. If the words ''Walt Disney Studios Presents'' (and warm-pitched, English-language dubbing by American actors including Suzanne Pleshette and David Ogden Stiers) bring more viewers to this marvel -- as resplendent as any in the great Disney repertory -- the gods and spirits of animated cinema will smile.
