My Neighbor Totoro

“Good”

“My Neighbor Totoro - lovely story, beautiful to watch, my 3.5 yo loved it”

“Studio Ghibli was introduced to me by the Gen Z youths (and some cuspy Millennials) on set and My Neighbor Totoro is the perfect gateway drug to Miyazaki’s world. I did not grow up a fan of anime but the background artwork in these films alone are so incredible. This particular film is so sweet and the one I would choose to watch over-and-over of all the films! My daughter loves it so much she did a Google Slides presentation on it for school!”

“A movie night favorite in our house (along with lots of studio ghibli favorites - a list below our 6 and 9 year olds enjoyed): - kikis delivery service - arrietty - ponyo - castle in the sky - when Marnie was there - from up on poppy hill - the tale of princess Kaguya - Pom Poko - whisper of the heart - only yesterday - howls moving castle”

“More than anything, this movie will always remind me of my kids. The way children can turn a weird old house, a patch of trees or a rainy afternoon into an entire universe. The way they believe in things so completely before the world teaches them not to. Watching it gives me a glimpse back into that part of childhood where everything feels magical and mysterious. It’s such a cozy and peaceful movie as is everything by Studio Ghibli.”

“One of our three go-to family movies that my children and I have basically memorized. Our cinematic comfort food, while this rec isn't particularly original as everyone and their mother loves this movie, consider this your ping to watch it again, immediately.”

“A movie for nervous system reset.”

“Perfect in every way. The cat bus alone as a concept is worth a watch.”

“A classic. Makes you nostalgic for summer in the countryside.”

“Our first movie as a family. Cat bus!”

“Our kids’ favorite. Sweet and slow and funny and moving.”

“My favorite”
