The film that put writer/director Hayao Miyazaki on the map! Roger Ebert believed Miyazaki was one of the best animation filmmakers and said of My Neighbor Totoro that “…it would never have won its worldwide audience just because of its warm heart. It is also rich with human comedy in the way it observes the two remarkably convincing, lifelike little girls… It is a little sad, a little scary, a little surprising and a little informative, just like life itself.”
