Very Magical

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2017)

Some of the best anime and animation I've ever seen. it's so wonderful. Hayao Miyazaki is a master storyteller. I think Stephen Spielberg is a master story teller too. What both of these men have in common for me is the ability to touch a nerve when every they tell their story, and they do it constantly even with their bad movies.
But My Neighbor Totoro is not a bad movie. it's a very good movie. One of Miyazaki's best. What I like about it mostly is the animation itself, it just moves so beautifully, like the best animation should. I'm use to the action packed superhero, slapstick kind of animation and despite it's quiet story set in Japan's quiet countryside, the movement of the animation made it so exciting in this anime.
So the movie is about two girls who moved to the country side with their father to be close to their ill mother ( Miyazaki has use the whole movie to the country to handle illness a few time since this movie like in The Wind Rises). The girls have adventures with the forest spirits that live there.
It's a beautiful tale told by a master storyteller.
