Starring : Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning
Director : Hayao Miyazaki
Running Time : 86 mins
Satsuki (D. Fanning) and her little sister Mei (E. Fanning) move to the country with their father while their mother recovers from an illness in hospital. There they discover a secret world of creatures, ranging from dust balls to cat buses, and they make firm friends with a strange creature named Totoro who leads them on their magical journey around their world.
This is such a beautifully filmed animated feature. Miyazaki is really in his element as he creates the creatures that inhabit the magical world that this film revolves around. Beneath the magic there is the sad story of the sick mother whom the father is forced to travel to look after, and the girls, left to their own devices most of the time, are forced to create the magical world they visit. Children and adults alike will thoroughly enjoy this masterpiece.
