My Neighbour Totoro (Hayao Miyazaki)
this is one of the most lovable sweet and brilliantly animated films of all time,.
I have this on laserdisc, an older pan and scan DVD copy (i recently had it on VHS) and I just picked it up again as Disney rereleased it - letterboxed and voiced by Dakota and Elle Fanning as the two sisters.
Excellent rerelease. a bargain at twice the price.
for those that havent seen it (who have an open mind for fantasy animation) you should get this film immediately. A simple but endearing story, great characters, another terrific Joe Hisaishi score, and some unforgettable visuals.
You can tell Miyazaki loves - or at least deeply understands children and he captures them perfectly - how they move, their little idiosyncracies, etc ..
always a favorite of mine - I'm thrilled that Disney picked this up to distribute - along with all the other Ghibli releases.
I think Spirited Away is the all time Miyazaki classic - but Totoro will always be my personal favorite.
