Amazon.com essential video
My Neighbor Totoro is that rare delight, a family film that appeals to children and adults alike. While their mother is in the hospital, 10-year-old Satsuki and 4-year-old Mei move into an old-fashioned house in the country with their professor father. At the foot of an enormous camphor tree, Mei discovers the nest of King Totoro, a giant forest spirit who resembles an enormous bunny rabbit. Mei and Satsuki learn that Totoro makes the trees grow, and when he flies over the countryside or roars in his thunderous voice, the winds blow. Totoro becomes the protector of the two sisters, watching over them when they wait for their father, and carrying them over the forests on an enchanted journey. When the children worry about their mother, Totoro sends them to visit her via a Catbus, a magical, multilegged creature with a grin the Cheshire Cat might envy.

Unlike many cartoon children, Satsuki and Mei are neither smart-alecky nor cloyingly saccharine. They are credible kids: bright, energetic, silly, helpful, and occasionally impatient. Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki makes the viewer believe the two sisters love each other in a way no American feature has ever achieved. My Neighbor Totoro is enormously popular in Japan, and some of the character merchandise has begun to appear in America. The film has also inspired a Japanese environmental group to buy a Totoro Forest preserve in the Saitama Prefecture, where Miyazaki's film is set. --Charles Solomon

Description
Critically acclaimed as one of the most delightful and charming family films ever, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO is a stunning animated treat full of magical adventure from Hayao Miyazaki. Follow the adventures of Satsuki and her four-year-old sister Mei when they move into a new home in the countryside. To their delight, they discover that their new neighbor is a mysterious forest spirit called Totoro, who can be seen only through the eyes of a child. Totoro introduces them to extraordinary characters -- including a cat that doubles as a bus! -- and takes them on an incredible journey. Full of wonder and heart, this spectacular 2-disc set features the voice talents of Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning. MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO is a magical experience for the whole family! 1988 Nibariki • G

3 out of 5 stars Sad Face   October 7, 2008
I ordered this product and got a tracking number. When I checked with USPS, the package was marked delivered, but, sadly, it never arrived. This is one of my absolute favorite movies, and I'm sure it's no fault of the sender that the package never made it to my house. I suppose it either got lost in the mail, or somebody in the Postal personnel decided to swipe it. Wish I'd had a better experience.


5 out of 5 stars Best Movie of All Time   October 2, 2008
I love this. I've never felt more joy from a movie. It's great to watch when you're just bummed, or sick. SO cute.


5 out of 5 stars Great birthday present   September 30, 2008
Made a great gift for an 8-year old who has everything! Beautifully illustrated, nice story.


4 out of 5 stars Original vs Disney   September 8, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

The disney version changed some of the language from the original version. It is still a wonderful movie. Yet, if you liked the original don't get the Disney. My 4 year old noticed the differences right away.


3 out of 5 stars Disney version not as good as older version   September 6, 2008

New DVD by Disney has new voices and wording for the characters. We were used to the older voices and the colloquial wording. Sad to see the change.
