This superbly animated children's tale is directed by Hayao Miyazaki, one of Japan's most beloved animators. The story follows Satsuke and Mei, two young girls who find that their new country home is in a mystical forest inhabited by a menagerie of mystical creatures called Totoros.

Totoro
A beautiful family movie about moving house, coping with upheaval and finding a place to call home. Familial love is the heart of the movie.
