The movie may look like there is nothing bad about it but there is there is some peril when a little girls goes missing and charecters are sad a lot of the time because there mother is dying. For that i recomen it to only somewhat mature 4 year olds.

It's too bad movies like this are so rare today--imaginative, tender, beautifully animated stories without any violence, sex, (intended) potty humor or the adult jokes moviemakers sneak into children's movies. The reason I say intended is because the girls wear short dresses that often lift up when they run, and there is one scene of the family bathing (nothing explicit shown, of course, but still enough to make young viewers giggle). My 6 year old sister watched this without asking a single question, which I think really says a lot. The characters are lovable and very real, there are many funny moments to balance out the few sad ones, and the ending was a happy one. The story moves a bit slowly and there are no special effects, but it's never boring. I would recommend for preschoolers and up.

Totoro is cute.

beautifully made, nice animation. I seen this movie for the past 10 years, and it is still one of my favorites from studio ghibli ^_^ nice

My favorite family movie ever. nothing is really wrong with it but maybe some of the little black creatures can be frightening to some smaller children but thats about it.

I have been watching this movie since I was five and have love it ever since. I never get tired of all the magic and the cute creatures that fill this film. Every kid will love this!

My Neighbor Totoro is an exciting movie from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki. It includes everything: from drama, to mystery, to just downright fun. I don't get why some people hate the newer dub, though. I thought it was fine (much better than other dubs I've seen). Anyways, Totoro was an interesting character. The two girls (Satsuki and Mei) were interesting, too. There was no irritating qualities to this film and everything was likeable. The animation was brilliant. The music was peaceful and mellow (so much so, I nearly fell asleep). I think the fact that there was a lot of quiet moments made the movie more mysterious. Now, some of the parts may be frightening for little ones, but I don't think it's a very big deal. Most of the characters can be considered somewhat good role models. I really enjoyed this movie.
