I mean, how can you not like totoro? The thing that's great about this film I find, is that even if it was intentionally aimed to be for children, anyone of any age really can enjoy it. Not too mention, but this may also be one of the most cutest films out there. Thanks for the great review! ^_^ Definitely one of my favourite films that I have ever seen.

But I　don’t take back my comment.Except new idea for story occur to author himself,Spin-off or Part Ⅱ,Ⅲ,more and more....should not be made easily.This is the typical way of business in hollywood,you know.I’m disgusted with it.... Of course,We should judge not the title but the contents itself.

Sometimes, it likes to hold random user's posts for moderation, which was the reason why your comment didn't show up. Second, I see what you're talking about. The attempts of Disney to continue its stories have failed miserably. Still, I somehow feel that the characters in Totoro could have been more, because there was a lot of potential left for them after the movie ended. Arcanes: my top-movie reviews received a score of 91/100, so Totoro really isn't that far away from the best of the bunch. One major problem with movies is that they're often too short to make any considerable impact, especially when compared to TV-series. quaszx: I indeed don't see Hayao as "the ultimate movie-maker", but I do see him as one of the best ones, because his movies are simple, yet charming.

Just... Japanese children. Having worked with Japanese children for two years, I can attest to the fact that every one of them, without exception, adores the movie, more than ANY Japanese adult. (: That's not to say adults can't or shouldn't ALSO enjoy it, though. The best children's movies, after all, are the ones that can be appreciated by people of all ages. -Tom Karry: Actually, the target audience for the movie IS children. Just… Japanese children.

I saw it when i was 7, and i dont remember thinking anything special about it. Only now, when i'm 20+ i can really appreciate the premise. It _IS_ about nostalgia, and nostalgia cant be aimed at children by definition. “My Neighbour Totoro completes this picture by being aimed at little children”

This movie is complete as a whole,apparently. You can’t see it?Are you sure My Neighbour Totoro Ⅱ　should be made?....OMG. Meanless extention of the good works not from creative eagerness,for only making moneyEEure,it must be sold like hot cakes.Because of Hayao Miyazaki and his studio’s worldwide fameEE result miserable dissapointment. OF　COURSE,Hayao Miyazaki and his studio　is NOT stupid to do it like that. this movie could have easily been extended to a 13-episode television-series….

His movies always have things you can pick on. And although its done very well i wouldn't enjoy it as much as an anime with mature characters like the ones psgels has reviewed in the past.

I just have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what you'll think of it. Frankly, I'm amazed that so many of the people here share my opinion that it's one of Ghibli's finest works, since it's relatively unknown in most circles... and apparently Miyazaki himself dislikes it, because he said he meant for it to be whimsical and happy, but ended up making it "far too serious" (which is part of why I like it so much!). But there's no denying that it's easily one of Ghibli's most unique, and I'm curious how you react to it. You may love it as much as we do, or you might find its uniqueness (and its intentional lack of explanation pertaining to one key plot element) unfulfilling. Either way, though, it should be an interesting review. But then, all of your reviews are interesting. There's a reason you were voted the top anime blog of the year, after all!

Take no offense but, why did the movie only get a 89 out of 100? yeah I'm thinking about the ranking too much, but when a lot of shows earned a 90+, I don't see why one of Ghibli’s finest movies shouldn't earn a higher score. Sorry for being rude about this, I just had to say it :) Regardless, I love your reviews, keep them coming. Yeah, it was a great movie.
