Review:
I had no idea
what was going on with this film. My sister brought it over ages ago
and introduced my daughter to it. Since then, she has raved about
Totoro. She even has a Totoro themed hat that she wears in the
winter! I'd heard that he was kind of like a Japanese Winnie the Pooh,
but I felt like this new release was a great time to see what all the
fuss is about!
The
film is very fanciful and interesting. Not surprising for a Miyazaki
anime. It centers around these two sisters, who are very close. Their
mother is in the hospital, so their dad takes them to this new home.
There, they meet the spirit of the forest, Totoro. He takes them on
magical journies and cares for them while their mother is away. Its a
very touching and wonderful story.
The film is finally available on blu-ray, which will please anime fans! The movie looks amazing in high-definition. This one is a great addition to your collection!
