Adorable!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2006)

This movie is really cute. The characters are really endearing, and this is a very touching movie about family. In typical Miyazaki fashion, there is a world full of magic just waiting to be discovered. What is really nice is how the girls are encouraged to believe in the magic out there. The scene I loved was when they were all dancing around trying to make the acorns grow. I think more kids should believe in magic the way the characters in this movie do. The overall message of My Neighbor Totoro is simple, yet full of wonderful values. There is a real respect for nature, family, and kindness throughout the movie. This is a movie just about anybody can enjoy.
