MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO
Sponsored by Izilla Toys
(Hayao Miyazaki, 1988, 35mm, 86 min)
One of the most beloved family films of all time, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO is a meticulous and utterly awe-inspiring film, filled with the kind of gentle magic that can only be seen through the eyes of a child. Two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, exploring their new home in the countryside, discover a mysterious, lovable and all-powerful forest spirit called Totoro, who shows them the secrets of the natural world and leads them on an incredible journey.
“How can I describe its inexplicable power? It is like how childhood memories feel, if you had a happy childhood — wide-eyed and blissful, matter-of-factly magical and entrancingly prosaic.” -Steven D. Greydanus, DECENT FILMS GUIDE
This film is rated G and is appropriate for all ages.
