Tonari no Totoro (original title)
Starring the Voices of Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, and Tim Daly
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki
Release Date: April 16, 1988 (Japan) May 7, 1993 (United States)
Another adorable film from Japan's answer to Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki. Set in 1940s Japan, the story centers on two young girls, Satsuki and her younger sister Mei, who have moved to the country with their father so they can be closer to their mother who is recuperating in a hospital. During their exploits into the forrest they come across the gigantic Cat-like being they name Totoro. This is a good entertaining movie that leaves you with a sense of delight and happiness, as it is near impossible not to crack a smile when Satsuki act like sisters or playfully tease one another. A solid film from one of the greatest men to impact animation as we know it.
