They also borrow roughly from Japanese anime master Hayao Miyazaki, who in My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service plopped adorable kids into magical situations. (In tribute, the film has Nani open a business called Kiki's Coffee House.)

...play a part like that. I don't want people to just see me as the cute, sweet girl." She needn't worry. Although her biggest success so far came last year as the chirpy cheerleader in the surprise high school hit Bring It On, Dunst (known as Kiki to friends and family) has shown impressive range in a career that began with a Kix cereal commercial at age 3 and spans three dozen movie and TV roles.
