This movie was beautiful and innocent. It was very similar to Miyazaki's other films aimed at the same aged audience as Totoro. The story is magical and compelling. It is a movie to lift the spirits and put a smile on your face. It will soon become a classic and everyone of every age is sure to be pleased because it is a honest story of the friendships we share as children that last a lifetime.
