From the legendary and highly celebrated Studio Ghibli, creators of Spirited Away and princess Mononoke, comes My Neighbor Totoro, a classic masterpiece for the whole family from filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.
While their mother recovers from an illness, Satsuki and her little sister Mei move to an idyllic rural retreat with their father. Far from the bustle of the city, they discover a mysterious place of nature and magic, and the friendship of the Totoro forest spirits. Devoid of conflict and suffused with the joy of country living, the film unites the unique vision of Hayao Miyazaki with a feel-good tale of childlike wonder and true originality, and is an elegy to two fading miracles: the fairytale world of childhood and the disappearing countryside.
