Not just for kids

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2020)

Sometimes adults want to watch fantasy and animated films made for children. I happen to own a lot of Ghibli films and this is my favorite. I watch the Japanese and American version, where watching the Japanese subtitles after watching the American dubbed version is a treat.
When you watch the bathroom scene after the Dad opens the door to look for black little dust-ball like creatures you can see the magnificent of really good artistic animation. Every little piece and line and shape shows they put effort into the backgrounds.
This is fun because of the little white creature and the responses and facial expressions of the two little girls expressions of meeting Totoro in the rain. It is just a good escapism movie when you want to smile and laugh.
