the dad was a creep.

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2004)

I enjoyed the movie, but the dad was a bit nutso. always laughing and talking really loud...And the old lady says "Eh?" in about every other scene. At least thats how it is in the English version. I really liked it though. I think little kids would get a kick out of it. All of thew Backgrounds were gorgeous, and it was certainly a unique plot, even if that totoro thing screamed a lot seemingly without reason. I also saw Spirited Away, which I think is less child-friendly. I don't have any kids though, so I don't mind too much. I think that its interesting that the guy made the movie modeled it after his own childhood. Even if his mom was sick, he's making some cash off of it.
