| Summary: |
Two young girls, Mei and Satsuki, move into a new home that is close to the hospital that their mother is in. In their yard is an extremely large tree which is home to three Totoros, gods of the forest. Soon after, news from the hospital comes up that their mother can't come home as promised, so Mei (the younger daughter) runs away from home to visit her mom. Satsuki then needs to turn to Totoro for help in finding her sister. |

The animation is amazing as always, but I found this "story" to be lacking. Some scenes drug on and well over an hour later when the credits came on, I still hadn't figured out what the plot was supposed to be. I feel like the movie never came out of the exposition phase.
The style was great. The English voices were well done. The idea behind Totoro and the other spirits was exactly what I'd expect out of a traditional immersive Japanese environment. I only wish Miyazaki had actually told a story with his well thought-out characters.
