I'm 27 and I just saw this anime for the first time. In fact, it's the first anime I ever saw and I only watched it because a friend kept telling me how great it was. It had been sitting on my shelf for over two years and last night I figured: what the hell, let's try it. This movie blew me away. It so perfectly captures the innocence and the exploratory nature of childhood. It enables you to view an ordinary day through the viewpoint of two ordinary young girls. It shows how boring we adults are, and how much fantasy, discovery, emotions and playfulness we have lost since we were kids. There's no macho behaviour, no bad guys, no evil to beat, just two kids growing up in a normal life, but extraordinarily presented. A perfect coming-of-age movie and one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. Already one of my all-time favourites. If the rest of Hayao Miyazaki's films are anything close to this, he will have a new lifelong fan.

This movie like so many others from Studio Ghibli shows that Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks Animation are not the only companies that can make top notch animation. My Neighbor Totoro is a wonderful story made by Studio Ghibli and the master Hayao Miyazaki. Some may know him from his other works like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, but this one should not be forgotten. Does Totoro and the buscat (i have no better word for it) with the many legs actually exist or were their part of the girls fantasy? I guess we'll never know....

Great Miyazaki film with a lovely fairy tale storyline. If only the kids voices weren't so screamish. This made my overal enjoyment of the movie drop :(

DISCLAIMER: I did not see this movie in its original language(Japanese), but in a dubbed version(Italian). I may have missed some nuances.

After watching two or three other Studio Ghibli movies, I was very curious to see _My Neighbor Totoro_, having seen the titular character at the start of thos More

Cute, and probably a good entry point for Ghibli films, but ultimately nothing special and a fairly predictable story. As an adult I don’t get as much out of this as a child probably would. It’s very whimsical and light, cozy and pleasant in the moment but nothing will stick with me for a longer More

[8.4/10] *(Note: This review is of the Disney dub.)* So much of *My Neighbor Totoro* is slow and deliberate. It is a sumptuous film, largely content to let its audience enjoy the slice of idyllic life it presents in wondrous tones. It takes time to let us see the Kusakabe family unpacking and settli More

(SPOILER ALERT)

I was delighted to see this subtle/multi-layered tale unfold, which seemed to play well to both a childhood audience, keen on likable characters/compelling imagination, and adults with a deeper appreciation for the symbolic backstory.

Like most of Miyazaki's films, there was More
