I remember this movie WAAAY back when. Possibly before I even saw Balto. But either way, it's a real classic that never really gets old. Heck yeah, I still enjoy watching this movie -- even more so than I enjoyed Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, or Princess Mononoke.

The story revolves around two young girls who've just recently moved into an old home near a very large and ancient tree, wherein dwells the Spirit of the Forest, Totoro. They befriend the spirit, but soon, things begin to go awry. The girls' mother is very sick and may possibly be dying. One of the girls runs away in an attempt to save her, and in order to find her back, the other must learn to believe in the spirit and its magic to help bring her home.

I never forgot this movie and probably never will. It really is a heart-warming classic anyone can enjoy. ^^

this was on tv about a month ago but i only got to see the ending but i loved it!!

I LOVE that movie! If I have a child, I will be sure that this movie becomes a part of their childhood favorites collection. Hey out of curiosity, I know that there are two dubs for Totoro, one by Disney and one by FOX. I've only seen the Disney one, and I've really enjoyed it, but what's the FOX one like?

i never new there were 2 dubs but the one i watched was with dakota fanning (sp?)
doing the voice of the little girl

Yeah, that's the one made by Disney, the one that I watched.

I never got to watch all of it, but it was awesome ;________;

One of my top 3 Miyazaki movies! The other two being Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky.
