A fascinating and fun insight into Japanese culture and spirituality. A somewhat random plot about tree spirits and cat buses that appear when a family move house. Certainly keeps the kids (young and old) entertained.
For the rare opportunity of seeing a good children's cartoon with non-American values I would recommend this. It does however have American voice overs. I thought it would be like Pom poko but it is even more gentle.
It’s full of heart and imagination and it keeps you in an almost constant state of euphoria, but the story of My Neighbour Totoro is exclusively intuitive.
