Adorable submitted by cowmooflage on July 29, 2014, 8:22am Love this movie. Very cute and great animation

Best movie ever!! submitted by Miabwimpykid on June 12, 2015, 8:15pm I like this movie's animation. Totoro is so cute. I love the cat bus. A very creative movie.

My childhood favorite submitted by Duckling on August 4, 2018, 10:58am I grew up watching Studio Ghibli and this is the first movie I ever saw. It is my favorite and I love it so very much. It tackles the struggles of children having stress from life without their mom while she is in the hospital and is sick, it helps people understand their feelings. I love their work and recommend any and all of their movies. Some are not kid friendly but this one is a great kids movie.

So cute submitted by majean on August 17, 2018, 1:39pm Yes, as an adult, I love this movie.

A Very Adorable Movie! submitted by Ray N on August 17, 2018, 3:13pm I found this movie really adorable and heartwarming. I'd say that I'm well above the target demographic, but I still really enjoy it and find myself re-watching it often. 10/10 an amazing movie!

Cute! submitted by Smileyfrowns on August 20, 2018, 4:12pm What a great movie! It introduces some harder topics, like the absence of a mother due to illness, in a gentler manner for kids. Totoro and his friends bring a lot of brightness and joy to the movie, and it shows how heartwarming relationships within a family, and with neighbors, can be.

Good for kids but not the whole family submitted by lstorc on August 30, 2018, 10:14pm This was a cute movie clearly meant for preschoolers and young children. there are lots of high-pitched screaming among the kids out of joy and very little to relate to as an adult.

Great first movie for kids submitted by Joe.Dohm on August 5, 2019, 9:59pm This is a beautiful movie with only a few slightly scary bits. It is a perfect movie for a 4 year old.

Sweet and strange submitted by FordAlpha on August 12, 2019, 11:02pm I'm sorry to say that I don't quite "get" Miyazaki, but this film is undeniably beautiful and touching, with much more meaning than the average kids' movie. Totoro is an appealing presence. Some of it made more sense after I read up on Shintoism.

totoro submitted by bedineelu on June 22, 2021, 9:56am I watched this a long time a go so good so great for little kids and people of all ages

Great submitted by maddymcpherson on July 7, 2021, 2:17pm Great movie to watch with family!

love submitted by jwpark on August 7, 2022, 3:07am I love watching this movie. It never gets old.

A childhood favorite submitted by paserbamr on August 18, 2022, 10:33pm Reminds me of my childhood :) Never grows old

Definitely a top 5 Studio Ghibli movie submitted by Nehemiah9 on August 21, 2022, 9:42am This one is magical.

Great submitted by JPollak on July 5, 2023, 11:29am My elementary-age kids have a strong preference for computer-generated animation, so if a hand-drawn film keeps their attention, then you know it's good. The story itself loses something in translation or with subtitles. For example, the title of the film references "Totoro" which sounds like the word for troll in Japanese except as said by the younger protagonist who can't quite pronounce the word correctly. Did you have to know that to enjoy the movie? No. But it does add something to know that. Suggest you watch the film and then maybe consult an outside source to help you interpret what you just saw.

Cute submitted by lilieli on July 7, 2023, 11:47am Cute

Heartwarming submitted by msi61 on July 10, 2023, 9:38pm A nice movie for a rainy day - about kids, wonder, and nature.
