One of the best movies for families ever

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 1999)

This is one of the best movies for kids and their parents I've ever seen. It's a cartoon fantasy that won't insult the intelligence of grownups. The kids portrayed in the the movie are refreshingly like real-life children, not little comedians who crack snappy one-liners at each other. The adults are caring and compassionate toward the kids. Best of all, the natural world is depicted with loving attention to detail that makes it as magical as the Totoro spirits who inhabit it. By all means see this film!
