I'm guessing some inspiration from Spirited Away was taken?
There are a lot of similarities there for sure but I don't recall an owl creature in the original. Also looks like Yubaba fixed up the place a bit.
Wishful thinking but I have always wanted there to be a sequel where Chihiro goes back to the spirit world as an older girl -- maybe 3rd year middle school.
