...See more ***Spoiler Alerts*** Do not continue reading if you haven't seen the film yet! . . . I just rewatched My Neighbor Totoro because to me it's a soothing film of magic and of the "comfort" present in nature. It's a beautiful story and like all of Hayao Miyazaki’s films- it has layers of meaning and symbolism. Everytime, I watch it I find something new to explore...and I don't try hard to find something to look into, it just kinda happens. From the Cat Bus to the Soot Sprites, to the huge sacred trees and to a sleepy forest creature: Totoro of course, which is what caught my curiousity today. I first wanted to know what the word "totoro" was. I found this blog which I found very insightful and I loved reading all I could about the film.   "Mei asks if it is a “Totoro” — a mispronunciation of the Japanese word tororu for "troll” . I did not know this, for some reason I thought that was the charaters name. But magical forest troll makes sense now!

It gave a throrough break-down that offered a rich cultural pov.  https://www.jcablog.com/post/my-neighbor-totoro-review-analysis What did you like about the movie? Any favorite parts, scenes, character moments?
