Synopsis: In 1950s Japan, Tatsuo Kusakabe relocates himself and his two daughters, Satsuki and Mei, to the countryside to be closer to their mother, who is hospitalized due to long-term illness. As the girls grow acquainted with rural life, Mei encounters a small, bunny-like creature in the yard one day. Chasing it into the forest, she finds "Totoro"—a giant, mystical forest spirit whom she soon befriends. Before long, Satsuki too meets Totoro, and the two girls suddenly find their lives filled with magical adventures in nature and fantastical creatures of the woods.
Movie Duration: 1.26
Tomatoes: 94% My Ratings: 10/10
My Opinion: I knew Totoro before I watched the movie. When I was offered to watch the movie, I immediately got it ready and - man! - I loved it! The creativity behind the story and the simple art style, it really puts you in the 1950s with the siblings and Totoro. It is also based on an actual incident in Sayama where the movie is placed, according to Aki. Youtube linked added and time placed.
Worth Watching?: Yes!
