My Neighbour Totoro

Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro (Japan, 1988) *** ½

Legendary Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki provides a stunningly realistic portrayal of life in the country. When their mother is hospitalized, two young sisters spend a summer in the Japanese countryside with their father. The strange new environment turns out to be a natural wonderland filled with exotic real-life creatures and a trio of furry woodland sprites who can only be seen by children. E500, EGM.
