A beautiful masterpiece that explores the world of two young girls. There names are Satsuka and Mae, they have just moved to the country side with their dad while their mom, who is ill is in the hospital. Underneath the stress and playfulness of these two girls lies a world all their own. it just happens to be inhabited by totoro's and cat buses.

"My Neighbor Totoro" is Miyazaki's fourth feature film and just like his others it is beautiful to look at and has a charming story, a bit more melancholy then his other works though. Not a whole lot happens in this film but that's why it works. The country home feeling, the large trees and tall grass. Miyazaki explores nature like always and this is defiantly his best forte into it.

The Fannings do a good job in the dubbed version I think. This is for sure a kid friendly film full of cool looking creatures, harmless jokes and amazing animation. Roger Ebert said this is one of the 10 best films for kids ever made. Can't argue with that logic.
