Hope comes in all shapes and sizes (and it may never give your umbrella back)

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2017)

Tonari no Totoro, a masterpiece, a film that transcends to every childhood of an open heart that is lucky enough to watch it. I've laughed and cried out of pure joy while watching this detailed, moving painting. It is a representation of the greatest love there is, that between a parent and a child, a family as a whole. You will fill up with so much tenderness towards these characters that you are guaranteed to smile as big as the smiles we are privileged to see from the protagonists of this story full of wonders and fluff. You will remember how it felt when everything was simply magical even old things that seem to have lost their touch. This film is an ode to the child in all of us and it is the best way to remember it. Do enjoy.
