Yes, “Wall-E” and “The Incredibles” belong on the raft, but I have a soft spot for Hayao Miyazaki’s baroque environmentalist fantasies, and this is one of the most freaky yet controlled. There simply isn’t any other filmmaker working on the master’s level of primal narrative invention: “Spirited” feels like a dream decanted.
