Two little girls were checking out an old house that they have moved to while their mum is unwell and they find magical soot sprites that lead them to meet a mysterious creature called Totoro.
My favourite part of the film was when the big girl is crying on Totoro's belly because her little sister went missing and he woke up and you see his big eyes and ears and realise that he is a big fluffy friend.
I really liked that Totoro is a part of nature and used a big leaf as a hat and when they all sit in the tree together and he plays an instrument.
I didn't really like cat bus, he was a bit freaky how his insides open up and people are riding inside a cat's belly. I wondered who was driving!
I really liked the film and the music at the end - Totoro!Totoro! and how he marches about with his friends.
