As a boy of thirteen who is vastly becoming a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and it's films I was impressed with My Neighbour Totoro for these reasons.
1. The story was a wonderful heartwarming tale that many people can relate to.
2. As in all Ghibli films there is a particular attention to scenery such as the scene when the two girls are at the bus stop there is a simple shot of a frog on the ground surrounded by puddles and another is just of a basket of tomatoes. These shots are so simple yet so marvellously drawn .
I think that whether you are a die hard fan or a child you will find this movie uplifting and extremely easy to watch.
