Synopsis
Hayao Miyazaki had been cradling the idea for this wonderful fantasy for a
long time before he finally decided to write and direct it. Set in rural Japan
during the 1950s, My Neighbour Totoro is full of the magical touches that
Miyazaki has become famous for.
Tatsuo Kusakabe and his two daughters, Mei and Satsuki, have moved to the
country to be near their ailing mother who resides at a local hospital. As the
girls explore their surroundings, the younger sibling, Mei, believes that the
forest is inhabited by magical creatures, much to the amusement of her father
and sister. However, one day Mei gets lost in the forest and discovers a group
of Totoros - protectors of the forest. Eventually Mei convinces Satsuki to come
with her and the three have a series of wonderful adventures together, as their
mother begins to recuperate.
Hayao Miyazaki's imagination is simply incredible and My Neighbour Totoro
perfectly displays his talent to create stories and characters that you really
care about. Aside from the variously sized Totoros there is the magnificently
surreal 'Catbus' to contend with too! Also, you get a first look at the 'dust
bunnies' - later seen in Spirited Away!
