I Love Totoro

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2017)

I saw My Neighbor Totoro for the first time yesterday and loved everything about the movie. I think what sticks out about this movie when compared to others is how there is no villain, antagonist or evil force trying to do harm to the characters. The movie is about the innocence and happiness of two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, who go on a wonderful adventure with a strange but loving friend, Totoro, and shows the bond that these two sisters share with each other and just how much they love each other. I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear while watching the sisters and Totoro have so much fun together. The movie truly captures what it means to be happy, adventurous, and a kid again, which is how I felt while watching My Neighbor Totoro.
Totoro, Satsuki, Mei and the other characters have a special place in my heart now and I love them all.
Thank you Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.
