What an amazing movie, it's a nice break from complicated, action oriented or fast-paced plots, this movie is so light hearted that it's pure joy watching it. Oh and the quality of the art and animation is just amazing, seriously some of the best I've seen, no less from Miyazaki.

As somewhat of a fan of Ghibli, I had expectations. Overall the movie was a nice watch but there were two points in which I got excruciatingly bored. When there were ten minutes left in the movie, I was ready to turn it off and didn't care about what was going to happen. Overall, I guess it was slightly disappointing. I wouldn't watch it again.

I'll still give it a pretty high rating, though, because it went well together as a movie, the ending was precious, and it pulled at my heartstrings.

When the girls are sitting in that tree with the cat bus at the end and that violin starts playing, gets me every time.

I didn't react well to this scene. lol. I kept telling myself "obviously they're young girls this must be okay in some way."

Calm down dudes, it's a father having a bath with his children, it's not Michael Jackson watching TV and eating Candy in his bed together with someone else's children.

nah its wrong

they're just kids. And everybodys got their own values, their own perspective of whats right and wrong

pretty great, though lacked the entirety of miyazaki's imagination. probably didn't help that i watched spirited away first, heh

Just watched it and I loved it. Totoro is very-very amusing)).

Extremely charming movie.
Totoro is really a weird creature. That cat as well is also pretty weird.
A sweet tale of moving on, living in countryside and enjoying everyday's life with his family. The serious undertone toward the end really made it better.
Animation was quite spectacular for this time, the clouds were really beautiful and quite realistic.

Actually I didn't want this movie to end ;_;

omg is it just me or Kanta looked just like Seita from Grave of the fireflies O.o

i was drinking some tea and almost choked when i saw him..i thought what the hell xD



you tell me?i was watching this with my mom :\...somehow i didn't feel tense xD,i mean it's just a dad making bath with his girlls...right?:p

i loved this..it's better than Spirited away

perfect score from me :D

I held off on Totoro for awhile because it seemed too juvenile. Having finished it, I must say that this is one of the best childrens' films I've had to joy of watching... and it's not just for children. I especially love how Totoro, unlike many of Disney's features, picks a gentle pace and tells its story without having to bag a villain.

To-toro to-to ro~

All totoro scenes were adorable.

But mei was extremely annoying to me.

This was a lot better than I'd expected. It does have that nostalgic factor, the music was endearing at times and the scenery is really gorgeous despite being a little dated. I actually liked it better than Princess Mononoke which was targeted at slightly older audience. However, I can not get myself to give it more than a 7 because it is after all, a movie for children, which kinda bugged me. If only I could travel back in time and give this to my young self; I'm sure it'd be something I would love at that age.

I liked this, but even as a grown man I think I found Totoro himself a little terrifying.

I have to agree. That thing was pretty damn scary. but I'd still have whatever those girls smoked :P My reaction to scary is laughter... so its fun...

This is one of the best Hayao Miyazaki's movies! "Tonari no Totoro" is just so amazing and kind tale... I was very happy when I have been watching this anime.
Totoro is so kawaii ^___^ His smile is unforgettable!
And what a wanderful graphics! Sugoi!
Very good story, I love it! 10/10

Somewhat sweet and enjoyable... Still a kids movie, though.

I watched it because it's one of those MUST WATCH things. I failed to appreciate it...


Oh comedy!
