sublime but i didn't have the same emotional connection with it as Spirited Away

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2006)

My neighbour Totoro is the story of Mei and Satsuki, who move to the country to be closer to their mother who has an illness and is currently recovering in hospital. When Satasuki goes to school Mei explores (as you do when you move into a new house). She sees a strange creature carrying a bag full of acorns, she continues to chase the creature until she comes into a great big tree. she falls on a big round, fat creature. which shes dubs totoro. thats all I'm giving away no, but the rest of the movie is an exceptional journey about life, innocence and realization. this was very good, sublime in fact but i don't have the same emotional connection with this as Miyazaki's Spirited Away. mayabe this has something we me owning the movie. enjoy ////
