Hayao Miyazaki had been cradling the idea for this wonderful fantasy for a long time before he finally decided to write and direct it. Set in rural Japan during the 1950s, My Neighbour Totoro is full of the magical touches that Miyazaki has become famous for.
Tatsuo Kusakabe and his two daughters, Mei and Satsuki, have moved to the country to be near their ailing mother who resides at a local hospital. As the girls explore their surroundings, the younger sibling, Mei, believes that the forest is inhabited by magical creatures, much to the amusement of her father and sister. However, one day Mei gets lost in the forest and discovers a group of Totoros - protectors of the forest. Eventually Mei convinces Satsuki to come with her and the three have a series of wonderful adventures together, as their mother begins to recuperate.

Great Movie
Really fun and childish movie brought back a lot of fun memories from when I was a child and hope that other people enjoy it as much as I did
In my family, when I was a child, a family film meant whatever happened to be playing on or around a birthday – which was the only time we were taken to the cinema. Usually it was a Disney movie – they were rereleased on a regular basis back in those dark days before Lovefilm, cable TV, Bluray, DVD, and VHS. (Yes, I’m that old.) In those days we watched a lot of television – but not necessarily a lot of films, and certainly not a lot of “family films” – Read more
