Timeless and Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2015)

Hayao Miyazaki never fails to disappoint with his movies and this one is no exception with its heart felt charm and beautifully simple story line. It is centered around two young sisters trying to cope with moving into a new house and their mother in hospital when they find a friend in Totoro and his little woodland friends. It has so much imagination and is wonderfully done and although it has a mystical and magical feeling in essence it is all about the two sisters and their struggle to come to terms with their mother being ill, living in a place they don't know and their Father trying to cope alone.
It is worth watching as it is a timeless classic for all ages, children will love Totoro whilst adults will appreciate the underlying message Miyazaki is trying to put across.
