      Krystalynne What I disliked was the theater, it was dirty and after waiting 20 minutes for the movie to start, they then came in to tell us the movie was cancelled due to technical difficulties that could not be resolved, only 2 showings of this movie and we are unable to attend the second showing and are super disappointed, id give zero stars if I could Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Shannon My Neighbor Totoro is always a great experience full of nostalgia and comfort. With subtitles, I do like when subtitles include honorifics, which the films usually do not include Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/23 Full Review Scott Spurlock Compelling story and characters. Beautiful background artwork. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/22 Full Review Sarah C It is a pretty light hearted movie. Very pretty visuals and fun story line. Nice movie to just relax and watch. Very easy watch and can brighten your mood. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/22 Full Review BRUNO F Totoro is a Japanese anime-style film, which is highly recommended for children, as it is very creative and one of Hayao Miyazaki's best works. Totoro is a mysterious animal that appears in the film in a house with a very happy family. Two children of different ages, who are sisters, meet Totoro and his friends, and end up becoming friends. That's why we think this film is very good, it marked our childhoods like many other works by this author. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Noe G My neighbor Totoro is amazing and fantastic studio ghibli film i give this film a 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Adam Nayman The Ringer There’s still nothing quite like Hayao Miyazaki’s My Neighbor Totoro... Apr 21, 2023 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Even the most amazing of the great Pixar films could be tagged with the label of "antiseptic." No one would use that for Totoro, which, especially if seen under optimum conditions, astounds with its vibrancy. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk A beautifully observed study of childhood that's unmissable, whatever your age. Rated: 5/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages An astonishing achievement of handcrafted animation, Miyazaki’s third Ghibli film solidified the studio’s presence, and has become an enduring symbol of its excellence. Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Eve Tushnet Patheos The creepy or eerie whimsy of the troll’s world is wonderful, but unlike in Spirited Away, the stakes feel really low–it felt like the movie kept making choices to reassure the imagined child-audience that the world is soft, not scary. Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Miyazaki's film is about imagination and family in their purest, most innocent forms. Rated: 4/4 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
