flying cat bus!

4 stars

The film is about this big fur ball Totoro, who is a Japanese tree spirit. He has a white belly with little arrows on it. Its also about a family. Their names were Saski, May and their Dad. Their mum lives in the hospital because she is ill. She didnt exactly live there but she stays there. Right at the beginning they move to a different house, and they find little dust sprites. They live in Japan. Later they meet Totoro. May gets lost in the middle of the story. The film is quite adventurous. The funny bit is when May and Totoro keep on RAAAAARING. The flying cat bus's lights are dead mice attached to it, with glowing purple eyes. He has this little thing on top of him that rolls around. He can make little holes in himself. It wasn't made by Disney- and its better when it isn't made by Disney. I have probably seen this film about 7 times a year since i was three. I have havent seen much films like that. My favourite character in it is Totoro. Nana or Hannah might like this film.
