Summary: Not Just For Kids!
Review: I discovered Totoro through my interest in anime (Japanese animation), and this movie is, without a doubt, one of the best. Miyazaki really picks up on the subtle realities of childhood without being sappy. I'm 35 years old (no children) and I find this one of the most comforting movies in my collection. When my job is too stressful and I feel cynical and heavy-hearted, this is the tape I reach for. By the end of the movie, all is right in the world.

Summary: I can't tell enough people about it!
Review: My son age 4 1/2 watched My Neighbor Totoro seemingly nonstop! Every opportunity he got to do something of his choosing ( Computer game, crafts, drawing, playing with trains) he said Mom I want to watch Totoro! It was the first movie that I found delightful the first time and every time! It was richer each viewing. The complex characters, positive father & daughter role models and the sheer beauty of the illustration made it a joy! I can't tell enough people about it!

Summary: worth every dime
Review: This film is satisfying on several levels:1) animation is done with extreme care; 2) plot is leisurely and well scoped; 3) the relationships - human and non-human are done very well. 4) original and a very nice break from Disney I recommend this film to anyone with a child or even a child's sense of wonder. For those who prefer a gritty plot, explosions, and relationships fraught with trauma this is not your film. Many films both animated and regular place children as horrible stereotypes which this film does not. Not too sweet nor too jaded - a good balance is struck here for all the characters involved. I recommend this film in particular to people who have daughters. Studio Ghibli has always done wonderful work with females as lead characters. Female characterization by Ghibli is the most solid of all the anime studios and alas, many regular film studios. The female characters are done with depth and a certain understanding that is rare. You see this further in such films as _Kiki's Delivery Service_, _Castle LaPuta_, and _Porco Rosso_. I have yet to come away from a Ghibli film that the word, "wow", was not attached. If you are fortunate and get a chance to truly see the animation say this to yourself, "this was all drawn by Miyazake" and not a stable of artists or computer generated (except for parts of Princess Mononoke). If you are fearful of the accusations and stereotypes of Japanese animation being too stylized, stiff, or lacking in plot that is sensible then see _Totoro_ or any Ghibli Studio product and see if they say the same thing afterwards. Further, take a look at the reviews from non-anime fans. It says something that they are moved as well. For parents I would say that this work will cause a sense of wonder and enjoyment for their young children. Get used to your children drawing the catbus and questions (children will ask where is Totoro and the dust bunnies). Not a bad tradeoff in consideration the alternative is Pokemon (blech!) As anecdote -- my co-worker thought my Totoro doll was hellaciously weird and ugly. Time passes and now a gray Totoro graces her desk. Watch and enjoy. This quality of stuff rarely passes through our media soaked world so unscathed.

Summary: One of the most highly rated Animes
Review: This is another example of a Miyazaki masterpiece, that combines a interesting plot with a family orientated theme that is also appealing to the older viewer. This is because the film contains many subtle points that will be readily grasped by the adult viewer. The story centres on the friendship that develops between two children and a forest spirit. While their mother is critically ill the children are made to feel happy due to their exploits. If you have seen any other examples of Miyazaki's work such as Laputa, Warriors of the wind, Grave of the fireflies, then you will understand the attraction in these animes. Fans of violent Mangas should look elsewhere, however if you enjoy a good story with competent dubbing, suitable music and memorable characters then Totoro is the answer.

Review: We think Totoro is very cute, and maybe he also think us cute. I want to meet him to say he is quite hilarious and ride on him. In Japan, there're many good Anime which has no violence and has a lot of kindness more than one on violence. But little good Anime has been sold on abroad and many bad one always has been bought there. I'm very sad the fact. So I'd like you to know Totoro is just one of many good Child Anime. By the way I love Disney too. ;-)

Summary: My Neighbor Totoro
Review: This is a charming, warm and beautifully illustrated movie about 2 sisters who befriend a forest spirit or 'Totoro.' The characters are endearing and focus on family love and love of nature. This is enjoyable for child and adult alike--I never tire of it! I highly recommend it to anyone with a child at home or who is just a child at heart.
