Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3536812, member: 2504"] Every once in a while I have to use my Netflix account to watch very well regarded and off the beaten path animated features. Tonight that turned out to be "My Neighbor Totoro" (1988), one of the early efforts of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. A family moves out to the country, and the two little girls in the family encounter a friendly and helpful wood sprite named Totoro, a creature that only certain children can see. A beautifully animated film, to say the least. I have to admit that it did not grab me like another film by the same studio and director, "Spirited Away". Still, "My Neighbor Totoro" is a solid animated fantasy, but I kind of wish it had a little more of Totoro in it. I have to say that my wife and I loved the Cat Bus that helps out the girls during a crisis. [/QUOTE]
