darling characters

Rating: 8/10 (26 July 2016)

Satsuki and Mei move to countryside with their father. This area has a wood, Totoro, a ghost or monster, stay there. Mei finds Totoro and they exchanges. Satsuki also find Totoro. Satsuki and Mei are helped by Totoro several times. This story is that the sisters' contacts with Totoro.
What impressed me in this movie was that this movie doesn't many dialogue. On other hand, sound effects are various and cute, I think. Sounds of running Satsuki and jumping Totoro are cute and funny. These are effective in bringing out an attraction of the animated cartoon. Moreover, Mei's voice and portrayal are very cute and just a little child so darling.
This movie released in 1988. After about 30 years, we can get friendly with Totoro and Totoro is famous and popular even now. I think the reason why this is so popular is simple development of story and charming characters. This movie made me happy and cheerful.
