My Review-

The only problem I had with this movie is that it need more Totoro in it since the movie is named after him and we do not get to see him a lot which kinda sucks. I have lost count but I think this is the third movie I have seen from Miyazaki and this one is by far my favorite one. It seems like Miyazaki takes his time with animated films such as this one so that they will eventually without him knowing will become instant classics. I really like the stories that he comes up with because they are so simple to follow and so damn entertaining. The characters are also made to be really well liked and not made to be annoying. That's why these kind of movies are so good. Some of my favorite scenes were with Totoro, and the three animals with we're really awesome and entertaining. If you have not seen this movie, you need to watch it, it will be worth your time and you will really enjoy it, I hope.
