A film that crosses generations and cultural barriers: watching it, it's hard not to feel like a kid again.

Obviously aimed at an international audience, the film evinces a disorienting combination of cultures that produces a nowhere land more confused than fascinating.

Sheer enchantment.

...a clarion call for the legitimacy of imagination - not only in stories, but in the real world.

The world the characters inhabit is less expressionist than impressionist, blessed with a delicate evocation of natural light and color that subtly incorporates Miyazaki's environmentalism.

Despite these limits, My Neighbor Totoro is a gentle and affirming film.

One of the finest family films ever made.

A beautifully observed film that has become a guaranteed charmer for all ages.

Not as complex or tense as Spirited Away (Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece, released 13 years later). Still, few things are.
December 08, 2014
Miyazaki's appreciation of miraculous possibilities and childhood visions is what drives Totoro.

The lack of sentimentality will be utterly refreshing to those raised on a diet of Disney.

A typically erratic effort from Hayao Miyazaki...
