Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The plot is never the point... it's a series of nostalgic childhood images... with the interplay between nature and humanity, and nature and the modern world.

This inspirationally lovely and gentle film has a real claim to be Miyazaki’s masterpiece, or first among equals in his collection.

Rated: 5/5

Cinerama Film

My Neighbour Totoro is an ode to childlike innocence and the ways life can seem all the more wonderful through that lens. We aren’t young forever, but movies like this capture the spirit of youth for all eternity.

Rated: 5/5

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.

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.

Acabei de assistir ao filme e meu Deus, que animação linda, por mais que a história não seja lá essas coisas, acho que o foco do filme não é criar uma história muito complexa e isso já é o suficiente pra te prender na trama e se apegar aos personagens. Os Studio Ghibli sempre acertam, trazendo filmes visualmente lindos e confortantes.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A very fine animated movie for kids and YA. One of many fine works by Miyazaki. Bit overly sweet for me, and the girls laughed way too easily and too long over the least little things. But the totoro and its flying bus buddy were awfully cute, cuddly critters. 3.2 stars

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
