The movie My Neighbor Totoro captures what it means to be a child again and lets you indulge into the magical world of spirits whom were said to guard us in our everyday life.

The story starts with the Kausakabe family who just moved in to their new home in one of the provinces of Japan. With his wife confined in the hospital, Mr. Kausakabe does everything he can to give his two daughters the best experience in their new home. With Satsuki being the eldest and Mei being the youngest, the two sisters explore their new house not knowing that they would find something truly amazing. One day, Mei stumbles upon a large camphor tree then falls into a deep hole, luckily she landed on a giant fluffy rabbit like creature named Totoro, a spirit which guards the people living in the province. Until then the Kausakabe sisters find themselves experiencing magical wonders whenever Totoro is around. At the same time the family hopes for their mothers quick recovery. What adventures will they take together as they explore with their magical neighbor Totoro.

It was breathtaking, nostalgic, heartwarming and adventurous. The scenery looks so realistic for a cartoon, its as if you really are in the provinces of Japan. The music was so beautiful, it truly helped in delivering a no forgettable experience to the viewers. This movie showed me the value of family and friendship, and that's something i will always treasure in my heart.
