neutral · AI labelView post →My Neighbor Totoro is an absolute classic. But I'd argue that Princess Mononoke is Miyazaki's best film. It's the culmination of his environmentalist themes, supported by some of the most complex and compelling characters in all of Ghibli, stellar visuals, and an unforgettable score.
positive · AI labelView post →My kids never saw a hyperactive Disney movie as much as they love My Neighbor Totoro. I am begging those in children's media to slow their pacing down.
positive · AI labelView post →I rewatched My Neighbor Totoro! The movie was 1h 26m long. This movie is still so amazing 🥹 tbh I think I love it even more now than I did as a kid! It's such a positive and joyful movie, it was beautiful and I felt so much happiness watching it ☺️ I'm glad I revisited it, it was a magical adventure!
positive · AI labelView post →I will never get used to how you can post a thing like this, and then a bunch of people will just be, like, "My Neighbor Totoro." Yes. That's a great movie too. It doesn't answer the question.

neutral · AI labelView post →My Neighbor Totoro is easy to love--it's a classic for a reason. But revisiting the film as an adult, it's possible to see the power of the film through new eyes: how it pushes back against cynicism and teaches us to make room for hope
positive · AI labelView post →So it's an anti-gun-control flag—originally there was a rifle—but the rifle has been replaced by the title character from the 1988 Japanese movie My Neighbor Totoro (となりのトトロ). Totoro is emblematic of Studio Ghibli, whose movies are probably the most popular foreign films amongst US millennials

positive · AI labelView post →Anyway I was looking up the film because I was having a conversation about whether there's any WWII-related imagery in My Neighbor Totoro, and my hot take is that it makes perfect sense as a double-feature with Grave of the Fireflies b/c it's an optimistic fable about life growing out of ashes
