My neighbour totoro blends the wacky imagination of a child and realistic grounded story to make a surreal journey.
The character development is unmatched as you really feel that the characters grow with the journey and have genuine realistic character flaws that only aid the characters growth. The animation is beautiful and really pops of with charm that engages the viewer with every frame.
My only problem with the film is that the pacing in the first 20 minutes do feel quits slow but the pacing improves as the story goes on so its only a minor issue that doesnt have to much of an impact on the story.
The cinematography was really nice as although most of the film just looks fine in some aspects, there are a few scenes that have an impact on the viewer thats hard to describe but they really mix well with beautiful art style.
Overall My neighbour totoro is an umatched story in regards to character develpmont and the impact on the viewer that only has minor flaws that are barely noticeable.
