Summary: Totoro is magical!
Review: My neighbor Totoro is a very special film. It is full of charm, humor, humility, and family love. Our children, my husband and myself hope that we get to have a totoro of our own living right next door--some day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go Totoro!
Review: The movie "My neighbor Totoro" is one of the best movies ever!!! I watched it one time, and I just had to buy it. Family entertainment for everyone! I, personally, love Japanese cartoons, and this is one of the best I've ever seen!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful, interesting, and enchanting!
Review: A bonanza for the whole family, this video has credible characters, wonderful story line, and enchanting magical action sequences. Technically, it leaves American animation in the dust, with its rich and beautiful portrayal of the Japanese countryside. Though highly stylized, the backgrounds are simply amazing, especially the colors of the sky. This is a delightful opportunity for parents to share some quality time and talk about magic, life, and other cultures. We view it often; of course it's my daughter's favorite video! This is a video every parent must own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you hate "Disney" fluff, you'll love this film!!!
Review: Totoro is one of my favorite animated films ever!

Disney, move over Miyazaki is king!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful video for kids -both boys and girls.
Review: My children - boys aged 12 and 8 - watched this video so often that it wore out!! There is enough action to satisfy the older children. The "monster" is a cuddly animal that will not frighten younger children.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Brings back childhood!"
Review: " When I was eight I loved this movie. I'm 15 now and I still love it! Totoro is cute, funny, and adventure packed! It's a good video for the whole family. You will find yourself watching it many times!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an unknown face of Japan and its people and culture
Review: This film is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. A wonderful story, purely artistic pictures and sophisticated character development make this work something totally different from cheap and shallow Disney formulas.Moreover, "My Neighbor Totoro" introduces an unknown face of Japan and its people and culture which you'll never have a chance to find in crowded, fashionable, high-tech Tokyo or Osaka. This movie reminded me of my wonderful experiences in rural Japan during my stay. The best movie for every parent who wants to share traditional Japanese (and also Christian too) values such as respect for nature and family.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Natural Wonder
Review: Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" may be a bit of anthropomorphic whimsy but never be leery of its G rating. Far from "Ferngully"-style fluff, it stokes that delicate chemistry that happens when the fantastic rubs up against the mundane and can get as rich, as haunting, as folklore. Isolated from their hospitalised mother and billeted in a house in the country, two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, stumble upon the treetrunk dwellings of three Totoros, or forest spirits, who take them on a breath-snatching night flight and leaves them with a sense of enchantment to offset their melancholy. Low-key, intimate, open-ended even, more like a European movie than a Disney cartoon, "Totoro" never lets the supernatural overwhelm the natural, illuminating even the most humdrum trifles with a quiet magic. Its glimpses of the real are as entrancing as its detours into the fantastic. Miyazaki understands that childhood is a lithe, fanciful terrain haunted by wisps of mystery and foreboding . Like in his other work ("Kiki's Delivery Service", "Nausicaa") , "Totoro" refers to this prepubescent sense of wonder for surplus. Restoring spark and vigor to a tired medium, "My neighbor Totoro" is an arcane delight: an ageless movie for all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I like Mai
Review: I think all of the animals are cute. I love the movie!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disney could learn much from this film...
Review: Be you young or old, this film will grab you and pull it into its wonderful world in about thirty seconds flat. Disney, as wonderful as they are, could learn much from this film. The character development is far superior to most Disney flicks, but what really distinguishes this film is how imaginative it is. The bus stop scene is five of the most enchanting and beautiful mintutes of film I have ever seen. It is hard to tell who loved it more, me or my four and six year old children, or my wife.
