Atom User Reviews for My Neighbor Totoro - Studio Ghibli Fest 2025
Not just for the children.
THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS!! So much violence, sex, drugs, killing, just all types of evil in Hollywood. This movie is the exact opposite and WONDERFUL AS SUCH!!
Metacritic
Miyazaki so effectively captures the feeling of a child’s life, inside as well as out, that little ones are often mesmerized by the movie, and adults are returned to a time when they could enjoy mystery for its own sake.
Here is a children's film made for the world we should live in, rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap.
An otherworldly tale of childhood and a definitive work of imagination.
