A film without a villain. A film with thematic purchase in our reality whilst adorned with forest spirits and a cat bus. Seemingly impossible, yet so charming! Plus, the artwork is staggeringly beautiful. Clouds move, light reflects, grasses sway. It is not profound, but it doesn't need to be. It's perfect in its modest, honest, condescension-free portrayal of the world through the eyes of children.

Short and sweet. The development of the characters is particularly impressive here. It takes Miyazaki remarkably little time to make us care about his characters, and he does it in such an effortless and natural way. He's awesome, that man.

Sure, there are no real struggles for the characters and it just kind of unfolds and ends, but I'll be damned if this wasn't a really enjoyable watch, filled with sweet moments and a cat that's also a goddamn bus I mean holy shit look at that thing. Great to see when cuddled up on the couch with someone.

Very imaginative and innocent. It's hard to think of as many movies as charming or upbeat as Totoro; there's little drama, it's just the sort of movie that puts a smile on your face and doesn't let up. A breezy and wonderful film.

Definitely awesome. An incredibly sweet movie recommended for all ages. It's escapist and fantastic but the little heroins of the story are so realistically rendered that the movie is involving and pleasurable above and beyond what one expects from fantasy animation for kids (unless it's Miyazaki!). And also imaginative, heartwarming, inspired -- writing this review just seems like my mind is drowning in positive adjectives...

Considering its stature in the animated community, I expected a lot more out of Totoro. It's not nearly as engaging, wonderful, or majestic as some of Miyazaki's later films. Many people consider this to be the legendary animator's crowning work, but they couldn't be more far off. A slow moving story, less than whimsical charm, and being too childish hinder it from its otherwise breathtaking visual design and occasionally endearing story. It's worth a watch.

Miyazaki brings to life rural Japan as seen through the lens of a child in a way that is subtle, yet effective. You just sink right in and it's smooth sailing from there (well, except for all the yelling). I also must give praise to the animation, particularly the physics, which balances realism and fantasy pretty damn well. Very endearing.

HOLY TOTORO (all praise to His Great Comfy-ness) CAN THIS BE ANY SWEETER. Like, a family moves into an old creature-infested dwelling and the dad goes "I've always wanted to live in a haunted house!" before they all giggle away bogeymen while in the bath. Adorable slice-of-life fare and mystical exploration (the tree-growing was one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen) give way to just the right amount of emotional suspense and payoff at the end (destination: Mei). Wonderfully scored.

The very sweet, albeit with a creepy grin, cartoon version of Groot, who is himself both animated and sweet. Groot would reasonably work in a real life adaptation of this. Although it might work better if they then animate it and make Groot a giant robot instead. WAIT A MINUTE

The attention to detail present in the visuals of Studio Ghibli’s remarkable library of works is arguably never used to greater emotional effect than in My Neighbor Totoro. Hayao Miyazaki and his team of wizards masquerading as animators conjure countless microcosmic points of nostalgia that beautifully reinforce the idyllic nature of childhood springtime. It’s virtually indescribable but completely tangible.

Essentially the perfect children's fantasy story. Immerses the magical within the everyday, reviving the childhood intuition that magic might be found in any shady, hidden corner of the world. This transcends the rural Japanese ambience while simultaneously being enhanced by the particulars of the local cultural character. Instantly endearing characters; delicately handled emotional stakes; immersive details of the animation; all enable the viewer to see with a child's perspective once again.

Sentimental without being mawkish, on the theme of care and cultivation (two words that mean the same thing). Possessed by a kind of Japanese animist spirit (that is, related to a cult, that is, a form of care involving practices of worship), but one also singularly embodied and expressed in the world imagined and invented by this filmmaker. Founded on a kind of quasi-neolithic myth, in the sense of implying sedentarisation and the shift to agriculture. Superior to almost all children's movies.

I hate to say it, but Totoro doesn't live up to the hype for me. It's fine, for what it is - but there's just not that much TO the thing. The fantastical creatures are wonderful, but there's not enough of them. The film, rather, seems obsessed with throwing clunky exposition and upskirt shots of young children around, and confusing it for whimsy. I'm not going to say I didn't enjoy this movie (and it makes for a great double feature with Grave of the Fireflies), but... it's just not for me.

Some cute bits and a couple of great scenes, but overall too infantile and uneventful for my liking. The ratio of madcap to mundane moments was too low. Totoro needed to be in way more scenes, and the story fizzled after a promising beginning. A pretty underwhelming film compared to some of Miyazaki's more mature efforts.

Miyazaki is master in creating adorable weird creatures. The film is one of incredible innocence and kindness. Like usually, beautiful Studio Ghibli animation is backed up by score composed by Joe Hisaishi. Not until El laberinto del fauno another movie that could really reach the world of child's fantasy was created.

It's a pretty joyful watch. It's a tad slow and uneventful at times for a kids film, but the animation and music are unquestionably gorgeous. I think the story works pretty well. The fact that one Is meant to spend a majority of the film wondering if these creatures are real never occurred to me the first couple of times I watched it. Miyazaki also seems to really understand children. The dialogue between the sisters feels very real and natural. This was a good, cute little film.

Incredibly original, surreal and endearing but defies its outward impressions by not quite being the definitive Miyazaki piece that has been suggested. Presented through a heavy tint of childhood innocence throughout with some surprisingly intelligent and thought provoking moments between all the usual eccentricities. The child protagonists can get more than a little irritating at times, but subtle fantastical touches and delicate details of animation can easily recapture the viewers attention.

Unbearably charming with a fascinatingly universal appeal in its celebration of childlike experience and imagination akin to Nintendo games or classic Disney films.

My Neighbor Totoro is charming even if it is limited in scope. The film is more ambiance than it is adventure, though that doesn't stop it from having an intense climax. The music is great, though I swear I could hear Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday in the theme. Sweet, mellow (even with the screaming children), and distinctly Ghibli.

This is definitely worth watching, and some of the scenes are almost as magical as Alice in Wonderland, but only when the Totoros are actually on screen. The main characters are annoying, and any scene without something magical happening seems like just filler. However, there are some undeniably classic scenes that should not be missed.

This is what you really want a childhood to be. Miyazaki tells a story of two tough little girls still free from the bounderies of adulthood with none of the goody two shoes morals of disney. With its natrual beauty and playfullness Miyazaki does not only tell a story to children but also to adults about what kids are like and could rather be compared to author Astrid Lindgren than the disney co. he so often wrongfully is compared to.

An imaginative and emotional experience that does a sublime job capturing the worldview and experience of being a child. It's not immensely gripping on a narrative level - there's very, very little plot and even less stakes - but the emotional journey works. The animation is of course gorgeous and the theme song is basically the catchiest ever.

Simple but not simplistic, 'Totoro' understands the imaginative world of children better than most other children's films. On top of that, Miyazaki lays in a deeply moving subtext involving the girls' sick mother that offers a clear-eyed vision of their struggle while avoiding the temptation to tug on heartstrings the way so many kids films will do. The animation is consistently beautiful, and the scene at the bus stop is one of my favorites of all time.

Not quite as touching as Miyazaki's other offerings. There are wonderous creatures to be sure, and an adventure for the children, but little depth to be found. What message is being conveyed? It's a wild dream to be sure but other than a bit of cute eye candy what reason is there for this film to exist? See Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, or Spirited Away first or instead.

Absolutely charming. Everything is low-key, yet it taps directly into such a deeply human vein of emotions, all portrayed with a subdued sweetness that never dips towards saccharine. though there is fear and death and decay in this world it is all portrayed as natural, never even hinting that there is any sort of underlying maliciousness or evil. This is a film of anti-cynicism, and it manages to be so with such sincerity, with a truth that a myriad darker worldviews could never approach.

"Sweet" and "charming" are words that often come to mind where Miyazaki is concerned; so it is with MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, with its charming characters, endearing fantasy creatures, and heartfelt tone. There's also little in the way of drama (no conflict of note), but it matters little when one takes such flights of fancy. Totoro himself and the Catbus are among Miyazaki's most memorable creations; Satsuki and Mei among his most likable protagonists. A sheerly delightful film.

Rewatch. I get it now. I get the yearning for a pastoral life, the wispy feeling of childhood summer days, and, most importantly, the feeling that spirits are all around-- strange, mostly uncaring, but also goofy, weird, and fun. It's not about imaginary friends (you dumb motherfuckers), but the power of youth and a connection to a world that's both terrifying and complex beyond even adults' wildest imaginations. As a cultural mission statement, it's in the same league as Citizen Kane.

I'm pretty disappointed that after over 20 years a catbus still doesn't exist in real life. Also disappointed in the girls in this movie, which are 2 of the most annoying characters ever committed to film. More scenes with Totoro and catbus please. Cause those were remarkable. It's also slow moving at times and not nearly as great as it's reputation led me to believe. Still, some scenes are pretty amazing but others are just flat out horrible.

Classic Miyazaki. Great animation, creative characters, cute kids. It's definitely one of his more childish movies, young kids being the main characters. I think it captures what being a kid is like. There aren't a lot of movies that make me smile without laughing, and I was smiling through most of this. Totoro himself is a very interesting and mysterious character, you don't know what he's going to do next. I thought the sub plot with the mom was kind of useless.

A bit slow, movie from another planet. Pleasing.

An extremely simple, even childish and yet -or maybe, as a result- lovable and entirely benevolent early effort from Miyazaki. The characters are adorable, the visuals are splendid and, during the climactic moments, the film achieves deep emotional resonance. Perhaps it's too one-note and naïve to deserve all the praise it gets, but it's a delightful treat nevertheless.

Kid imagination. The idea of a gigantic tree touched me a lot.

Perhaps the single greatest movie ever made, My Neighbor Totoro is brilliant, just brilliant. Possessing an affecting depth that I didn't think it was possible for movies, or any type of screen entertainment, Totoro is a must see for anybody.

This is definitely high up on the list of one of my favorite Miyazaki movies. With his amazing imagination and classic animation, this makes a movie classic for people of all ages. Very, very well done.

Like most Miyazaki, this is a tearjerkingly adorable film. And like Ponyo, there isn't much conflict to speak of in the story. But the animation is lovely without being showy and the characters are all enjoyable.

I actually haven't seen this movie since I was in the 7th grade, but I remember it had this languid quality I enjoy in certain films. A kind of chillax factor.

I had always somehow managed to miss this. Can see its influences and how its been surpassed. Still a nice little tale. Cat Bus also rules.

Mostly good fun, and almost totally insane, but actually a little dull for a fair part of the middle of the movie. I prefer Ponyo, or Spirited Away, or Princess Monomoke, or Howl's Movie Castle.

There's not much happening in terms of narrative, but Miyazaki manages to capture the feeling of country life amazingly well. The film gives screen time to the inconspicuous, everyday details that so often get passed over: the creak of an old window, the swirl of water over an old bottle, a group of tadpoles in a puddle. Together, these create a sense of living rustic beauty that very much reminds me of my childhood. The soundtrack is also incredible, and fits the theme perfectly.
