My Neighbor Tortoro
This is probably my favorite Miyazaki movie ever!
Great!
Great movie - highly recommended!
Heartwarming
I loved this film so much as a child. The story of a family moving to a different home and having to adjust with the mother hospitalized is very touching. This film filled with magic, cute Totoro and the Cat bus, dust bunnies, the majestic tree. The relationship of two sisters, discovery, and family are all special elements of the film.
Imagination and fantasizing are GOOD!
This is a very sweet story that handles some serious subject matter with a light touch. Just goes to show that kids CAN use their imagination, and yes, even fantasize to help them cope with their fears.
A perfect children's film
For children under ten or if you are just having a bad day, there is no better film than this. Period.
