I've never totally understood the buzz around this movie, the English dub especially has some rather harsh voice acting from the two kids. Not sure if the original is much better, and the plot and most things relating to the two kids tends to drag. The plot with the kids' mother in the hospital (it's revealed early on and isn't a spoiler) and them worrying about the situation is definitely done much better by other Ghibli movies. If you know you know.
But now let's talk about all the good. I love the family's cozy home and bath, and the forest surrounding it and the dust mites or whatever they were were cute. And Totoro is one hell of a cute bear. He's like THE cute debu character, almost like modern Japanese Bigfoot but friendly (he's what I kinda hope U. S. Bigfoot is like).
I can't imagine a better mascot for Ghibli, so I'm glad this movie exists if for nothing more than that. But the plot is just nothing special.
