About My Neighbor Totoro
Two sisters move to the country with their father in order to be closer to their hospitalized mother, and discover the surrounding trees are inhabited by Totoros, magical spirits of the forest. When the youngest runs away from home, the older sister seeks help from the spirits to find her.
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, My Neighbor Totoro leans on a strong ensemble — Noriko Hidaka, Chika Sakamoto, Hitoshi Takagi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1988.
