My Neighbor Totoro

My Neighbor Totoro (となりのトトロ Tonari no Totoro?), is a 1988 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli.

Two young girls, Satsuke and her younger sister Mei, move into a house in the country with their father to be closer to their hospitalized mother. Satsuke and Mei discover that the nearby forest is inhabited by magical creatures called Totoros (pronounced toe-toe-ro). They soon befriend these Totoros, and have several magical adventures.

This movie, and others by this director, have that magical feel that we saw in The Labrynth.  These films are  kind of about people’s relationship with nature, and how it can be a positive healing influence in our lives.  But that is simplifying it.  So watch this movie; IT ROCKS!

  1. I downloaded this movie (dual audio –you can watch in English or Japanese) and put it on your mom’s computer. It is one of my favorites.
