This is not only one of my favorite childrens films, it’s one of my favorite films period. This movie is truly magical. It achieves what Disney movies never do — a wonderful story without the need to resort to evil villains or wise-cracking side kicks. In fact, two of the things I find most striking and refreshing about My Neighbor Totoro is the use of images rather than dialogue to propel the plot and the slower, almost contemplative, pacing of the action. (This is one children’s movie that won’t blare from your TV or yammer at your children!) The first time I saw this movie I watched a friend’s pirated VHS tape in Japanese. I was instantly mesmerized and was completely able to follow the story, despite the fact that I did not understand a word the characters said.
And don’t be put off because it is “japanese animation.” This is not your father’s japanese animation. The images of the tranquil countryside are sumptuous. Miazaki’s attention to the little details of life, like a leaf floating in a stream or raindrops tapping an umbrella, evoke the simpler, purer times of childhood. The children’s discovery of the totoro spirits in the old camphor tree recalls a time in every child’s life when magic seems possible in the mundane world. As with other Miyazaki films, there is a thrilling flying sequence. However, this film is more appropriate for younger viewers than most of his other works, some of which are decidedly adult in nature despite the fact that they are animated.
As the mother of a toddler, I really appreciate the refusal to rely on cliche villians to keep the plot moving. However, I should warn other parents considering this video that the conflicts used to keep the plot moving — the children’s discovery of and search for the dust bunny and totoro spirits and Mei’s desire to see her sick mother in the hospital which causes her to lose her way in the countryside — might be upsetting to the littlest viewers without some parental company and discussion. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly recommend this movie whether you’re 2 or 200.
If you are a fan of Totoro (and what right thinking individual isn’t!) then you may want to leave this DVD release on the shelf come December 3…In Japan, Totoro was graced with a spectacular DVD release featuing multiple dialog and subtitled options, as well as featurettes, artwork, and options for both full screen and letterbox versions…i the meantime, I would recommend this version ONLY to friends with small children who have not seen the film before. The print quality of the VHS version was quite good and the dubbing job is excellent, considering the shabby treatment that most Japanese animated films recieve. This is, first and foremost, a film of remarkable beauty and warmth. It is precious and timeless. By all means take advantage of the low price and share it with children. But for your own collection, you will most certainly want to wait for the (cross your fingers and send those letters now) Disney Edition.
