Summary: An absolute gem
Review: This film is an absolute masterpiece: a true classic of animation that is sadly largely unknown in the west, due to the low-key release it was given - still unavailable on DVD, which is a shame. No matter - this is one of those rare stories that is entirely timeless, and it will still be so if it ever gets a full-on release.I saw this in Japan, where I had it translated to me as the story went along, but the quality of the animation in its characterision and setting of mood is so strong, it pretty much works as a silent piece. The story has been summed up plenty of times by other reviewers, so I won't repeat what has already been written too much, but essentially it follows a little girl's friendship with some friendly trolls (that look like a cross between a cat and a fat rabbit) that live in the woods by her home. In some ways, it reminded me of "the Snowman" but considerably more enjoyable and much less saccharine. As a story it is so incredibly heartwarming, in a way no western animation has ever really managed to pull off.

Summary: Totororrific!
Review: This is an excellent childhood story unrivaled by any since "Peter Pan". The plot involves Satsuke, a girl on the cusp of womanhood, moving into the country with her father and younger sister Mei, where she discovers a child's realm of wonder and make-believe running in parallel to the adults' mundane everyday existence. The family's rickety cottage is filled with easily frightened dust bunnies, and deep within the tangle of roots and branches, in a safe hiding place only a child can access, Totoro, a benign forest creature, makes its lair. The story is a real jewel, simply, elegantly told. The art is of extremely high quality, excellently detailed, bright and clean. The characters are especially well-depicted, complete with expressive body language and realistically animated. In part because of the excellent dub, they are all sympathetic and deeply human, instantly recognizable as real people around us. Especially evocative is the portrayal of the children's make-believe world, full of things and places that are there only if you believe in them, like the giant Totoro and his entourage of two tiny, roly-poly furballs, and the magnificent "cat-bus" with great shining eyes and two mice announcing the next stop - the exact place you want to go. A fantastic, enchanting examination of a child's mentality, that is also a mainstay family film.

Summary: An O.K movie
Review: The story is about two little girls Mei and Setsuki, and their father(their mother is in the hospital) who have moved into the country because.. I'm not too sure why. Mei then finds a big Totoro(a big fluffy animal,Totoro's come in all shapes and sizes). Than Mei and Setsuki have adventures with it. I thought that it was a cute movie for little kids 3-8. Also the movie had no plot which would leave older people finding it boring. I would recommend this movie for little kids.

Summary: A touching and lovely film
Review: I first saw this movie with my little sisters, thinking it was going to be another boring kids movie. A note to anyone who might think the same about My Neighbor Totoro- get over it and see the movie. You'll be so glad you did. What an absolutely enchanting film. The artistry is breathtaking and the story is so touching. How could you describe a film with a big, furry forest god who makes trees grow and a catbus as anything but charming? Satsuki and Mei are very believable characters as young girls who squabble with each other and worry about their sick mother. The childlike innocence these girls possess (which allow them to see the totoros) is something that any adult can envy. And the totoros! They are very sweet, charming creatures. Especially the big guy, the Totoro, who can seem frightening at first with his big claws and even bigger teeth, but as it turns out, the only thing he uses those teeth for is grinning. He sort of adopts the girls, which is just another touching aspect of the story, especially when he enchants them by helping their little garden grow into an enormous, beautiful tree. All in all, Totoro is a wonderful movie that is definitely worth seeing.

Summary: This is the best children's video ever
Review: This is such a good film that my 4 year old daughter has seen it about a hundred times, and so have I! The quality of animation is outstanding - you see new details each time you watch. The story is absolutely wonderful - no violence, no aggression, but plenty of plot to keep your attention. Its the story of two little girls who go to live in a new (haunted)house in the country with their Dad (Mum is in hospital). The girls soon meet the spirit king of the forest (Totoro) and fantastic adventures follow. This film is a window into rural Japanese culture, disguised as a children's cartoon.

Summary: supisakura
Review: The movie is by no means as colorful as the cover makes it appear to be. I really enjoyed other anime much more than this, including Kiki's Delivery Service, which is by the same artist. This movie is very slow, lacking a real flow of story. The movie seems to start off a bit slowly, the colors are dark and drab, giving an uneasy/dreary feeling. And just when you think the movie is beginning to pick up, it ends. Nothing about the mother seems to be explained, nothing about the house that they live in is explained... I think Kiki's Delivery Service is a much better deal. (I bought Totoro for less than (PRICE) and still did not feel it was worth the money.)

Summary: WONDERFUL1111
Review: We, as Papa & Mimi to our 2 1/2 yr. old grandson, probably enjoy this as much as he, if not more. Between Totoro and Kiki, one or the other is played incessantly (when he is allowed to watch anything)He has most of the dialoge memorized to illustrate how often it is watched in the 2 months we have had it. We love it because people are nice to people (a wonderful example), the animation is wonderful, and the color and music just great. These are both beautifully done by a master,innocent enough for the very young,also the young at heart. A MUST!

Summary: fuzzy cat busses and giant bunny rabbit-cats
Review: I watched this movie with my 12 year old cousin Kris recently and was in perfect awe by how amusing and wonderful the story was. Kris showed me the cover and i was convinced it was only another kids movie. Immensly popular in Japan i have learned, i was stunned by the clean and excellent dubbing and music that added to the movie instead of making it sound awkward like many other anime that i have seen. set in the fourties in rural japan, i loved the almost realistic sceanery (spelling? oh well..) and the loveable and charictors that were not unlikly children.. all in all after i watched it, i wanted to go on a ride in a big cat-bus too!

Summary: C'mon Disney, we need this movie on DVD!
Review: "My Neighbor Totoro" is one of the most beautifully animated movies I have ever seen. Kids of all ages will enjoy it, for the wonderful story and for the exquisite animated scenery. Miyazaki is truly a master of anime. Unfortunately, Studio Ghibli of Japan sold the U.S. rights of this movie to Disney, and that is why we have yet to see an English subtitled version out on DVD. I was fortunate enough to watch the original version in Japanese on LaserDisc. The voice characterization is MUCH better than the dubbed English version! C'mon Disney, us Totoro fans are waiting for this on DVD, in original Japanese with English subtitles!
