“I see a ton of movies, and it has been ages since Iu0026#39;ve heard so much laughter and applause in a movie theater. I attended a screening of Spirited during Regalu0026#39;s Mystery Movie Monday, where no one in the audience knows what theyu0026#39;re seeing until the movie actually starts. I had never heard of Spirited before I saw it and had zero expectations. No spoilers, but I will tell you that the entire audience applauded when the movie ended, then stayed for the previews and applauded again when the previews were over. There was not one person in the crowded theater who was not smiling as they left. Spirited is a happy movie starring beautiful, talented actors. The singing is fun. The dancing is phenomenal. The costuming is clever. The story is funny, thoughtful, and precious-in-a-good-way. Whatu0026#39;s not to love? I only wish it had opened in more theaters so I could see it again on the big screen, but I can guarantee I will be watching it multiple times on AppleTV+. Weu0026#39;ll done, Apple!”
