Studio Ghibli's flagship production, which reminds us how wonderful and extraordinary the world can be through the eyes of a child. When sisters Satsuki and Mei move to the countryside to be closer to their sick mother, they do not expect that their new home and its surroundings hide many secrets. Soon the girls meet magical creatures, including a huge and furry forest spirit named Totoro. He becomes their friend, who helps them in difficult times and guides them through a world they have never dreamed of. "My Neighbor Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki is an incredibly warm story about family, friendship and the miracles that hide just around the corner, waiting for those who can see them. This charming animation moves, entertains and inspires, and its beautiful linework and unique atmosphere make it a film you want to return to over and over again.
