My Neighbour Totoro (U) [Subtitled]

Totoro and children sitting on a branch above a river

In rural Japan, two young sisters discover the magical spirits of the forest, in this Ghibli classic back on the big screen.

This magical animated tale follows two girls as they befriend a woodland spirit. 

Sisters Satsuki and Mei move home to be closer to their convalescing mother. After encountering susuwatari (house sprites), young Mei is led to a camphor tree, in which she finds the larger spirit Totoro, and an adventure within nature begins. 

Featuring a bus-shaped cat, a ceremonial dance and a terrific soundtrack, this Studio Ghibli classic is a joyful exploration of our relationship with the environment. 

35 years since its release, My Neighbour Totoro is still considered one of Studio Ghibli's most beloved works.
