Product Description
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO: SPECIAL EDITION
Amazon.com
My Neighbor Totoro is that rare delight, a family film that appeals to children and adults alike. While their mother is in the hospital, 10-year-old Satsuki and 4-year-old Mei move into an old-fashioned house in the country with their professor father. At the foot of an enormous camphor tree, Mei discovers the nest of King Totoro, a giant forest spirit who resembles an enormous bunny rabbit. Mei and Satsuki learn that Totoro makes the trees grow, and when he flies over the countryside or roars in his thunderous voice, the winds blow. Totoro becomes the protector of the two sisters, watching over them when they wait for their father, and carrying them over the forests on an enchanted journey. When the children worry about their mother, Totoro sends them to visit her via a Catbus, a magical, multilegged creature with a grin the Cheshire Cat might envy.
Unlike many cartoon children, Satsuki and Mei are neither smart-alecky nor cloyingly saccharine. They are credible kids: bright, energetic, silly, helpful, and occasionally impatient. Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki makes the viewer believe the two sisters love each other in a way no American feature has ever achieved. My Neighbor Totoro is enormously popular in Japan, and some of the character merchandise has begun to appear in America. The film has also inspired a Japanese environmental group to buy a Totoro Forest preserve in the Saitama Prefecture, where Miyazaki's film is set. --Charles Solomon

 The 'Fanning corn children' redub ruins this for me. September 1, 2010

Disney always takes a good thing and poops all over it. The Fox release of this movie has the more tolerable English language dub.

We love this movie -- and this release is great. The english track is very well done, but it also includes the Japanese track with subtitles (which my kids like better). So excited to have this in our collection!

The video didn't arrive as soon as I thought (yesterday), and the case was cracked when it go here. However, the movie itself played without errors, so I won't be sending it back anytime soon. Gotta love that furry Totoro XD! I recommend this movie to anyone who likes Miyazaki's films.

I was so mad when I started this movid for my kids. I have the VHS of the original, and had no idea there was a remake. Come to find out this is nowhere close to the original. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Great Movie August 11, 2010

It's always fun to watch kids who have never seen Miyazaki films watch one for the first time. You have to remind them to blink sometimes. Totoro is a winner, but see the rest of them too.
