One of the first animated movies I watched as a child was "Spirited Away" (千と千尋の神隠し) and like many, I find it an incredibly inspiring piece of work to this day.
And after LEGO® introduced the colour coral, I wanted to recreate the Bathhouse (油屋), the main location for the movie.
Because each frame in the movie is hand drawn, the Bathhouse itself changes in size and proportions from scene to scene.
I therefore based the model mainly on various merchandise that released over the years.
However, it was important to me to include all the locations from the movie itself, such as the stairs on the side of the building that Chihiro tumbles down, the bridge that she crosses or the Sea Railway (海原電鉄). The back of the building can also be removed to give a glimpse into the interior of the bathhouse, including the boiler room.
