Another message I got from this movie is the importance of kindness and generosity. The elder sister gives Totoro the umbrella as soon as she sees it, and Totoro gives them the precious acorns in return. The boy gives his umbrella to the girls even though he is super shy. All those heartwarming moments make the characters so lovable.

Totoro is cute
November 29, 2022 @ 4:25 pm
I watched it with my nieces and nephew last night. It was their first time watching

The philosopy of the trees is exactly true as what I thought😧
November 29, 2022 @ 4:26 pm
I personally thought the Fox dub was better than the Disney dub.

What life taketh away, Totoro giveth back.
November 29, 2022 @ 4:32 pm
Also let’s not forget that Totoro is the cutest being in cinema

I feel like a lot of people like my neighbour totoro just because totoro is cute but it has a very deep meaning. And I love how this video explains that.
November 29, 2022 @ 4:33 pm
I wish they made another movie
November 29, 2022 @ 4:33 pm
Amazing analysis.
I too felt that dread when the girls are waiting at the bus stop. The atmosphere made it feel alot longer than 7 minutes.
But when Totoro appears I felt that relief

The sound clips from the movie in this sound different than the movie I grew up with…
November 29, 2022 @ 4:34 pm
I didn’t like totoro when I watched it, but I knew I was missing something. This video helped me understand why people enjoy it and why it is considered a good movie. I’m glad to understand though I still do not enjoy the film.

Would love your to watch your take on Howls Moving Castle
November 29, 2022 @ 4:39 pm
after I saw deborah I subscribed
November 29, 2022 @ 4:39 pm
I saw it for the first time online before ordering the DVD. It was the Disney version.
November 29, 2022 @ 4:39 pm
i love this but having totoro be gendered masculine totally threw me off lmao
November 29, 2022 @ 4:40 pm
fun fact: the creator of earthbound voiced the dad(in the japanese ver)
November 29, 2022 @ 4:42 pm
Why can only kids see Totoro?
November 29, 2022 @ 4:43 pm
Why the older girl (Don’t know her name bc I haven’t seen the movie yet I really want to but can’t find it anywhere free) but she look like the doll on squid games like exactly like it…
November 29, 2022 @ 4:45 pm
totoro do be vibin tho
November 29, 2022 @ 4:46 pm
Totoro was a character who always made me feel safe as a kid, and to this day I still like to pretend he’s real sometimes, so I can feel that same comfort I experienced as a kid. I still collect acorns as a little “gift” for Totoro-
November 29, 2022 @ 4:46 pm
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
November 29, 2022 @ 4:47 pm
As someone who was an imaginative kid with a sick mom (MRSA) and a younger sibling, this movie was really relatable and calming to me. 💚
November 29, 2022 @ 4:50 pm
It’s so weird to hear this film in English!
November 29, 2022 @ 4:56 pm
Totoro is big slap on those Eurocentric films which always present magical beings as bodybuilders or human hourglasses.
November 29, 2022 @ 4:56 pm
Third video I watched today in the same hour from your channel…thank you for making me cry and allow myself to be like Totoro! <3
November 29, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
I agree
November 29, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
The legendary movie it is. I felt the nostalgia again. I am.Totoro for someone and hope someone will be mine.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:02 pm
Watching the Japanese version with subtitles transmit the feelings.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:04 pm
Totoro is a giant Australian Wombat
November 29, 2022 @ 5:04 pm
That poor spirit never got any sleep 😄🤣

Lovely post, this video. Nothing against this version, but I fell in love with the original dub of the film … different voice actors had a subtlety that I liked. What a lovely film creation.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:07 pm
Totoro for me is so cute animal or a cute monster! I love him so much 💕
November 29, 2022 @ 5:09 pm
Sometimes it feels like new generations feel like they are the gatekeepers of ghibli films it bothers me
November 29, 2022 @ 5:12 pm
My Neighborhood Totoro, was one of my favorite movies from my childhood. This is a movie that I can’t wait to pass onto for the future generations.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:12 pm
And then there is me: a man who thinks Totoro is The scariest monster ever 😄
November 29, 2022 @ 5:12 pm
the new voices for Totoro are god awful in comparison to the original.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:13 pm
This movie is beautiful in so many ways, and one of the movies that helped paved the way to anime becoming beloved in the west.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:13 pm
This movie was my earliest memory of my first exposure to Japanese culture. It made me fall in love with nature and helped me develop an appreciation for my heritage.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:13 pm
Why should we have totoro????
1.he is so cute and funny
2.he is helpful

Me imagining

November 29, 2022 @ 5:15 pm
I.LOVE.THIS.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:15 pm
It brings tears to my eyes how much I love this movie.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:15 pm
I don’t know why but all the videos from the take have me holding back tears.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:16 pm
My daughter just got the stuffed animal…we just lost my mom and dad… I think she’s trying to say something…hope he can help
November 29, 2022 @ 5:17 pm
I tried laughing, why isn’t the Chinese army leaving my room
November 29, 2022 @ 5:17 pm
The scene where mai and satsuki arguing at the situation about what’s going 2 happened 2 their mom is very similar 2 my older sister and me when we were young bcuz my dad had cancer and we don’t know what’s going 2 happened. So I think that’s why I love this movie so much.
November 29, 2022 @ 5:17 pm
I love howls moving castle but this film has a disgusting scene of a dad bathing with his two kids idk about u but i want this film to be justified about this
November 29, 2022 @ 5:19 pm
I cried watching this. 🤍
November 29, 2022 @ 5:20 pm
I just saw the whole movie on Netfilix with japanese(original) audio and english subs. and this english translate here is so cringe and false like i just can’t XD.
