My Neighbor Totoro

As I was growing up, I seemed to lose my childhood. What do you think about animation? Do you think that only children watch animation? I don’t think so.

I watched ‘My neighbor Totoro’ when I was a high school student. This movie was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. He is very famous not only Japan but also all over the world. After this movie was made by Studio Ghibli, it won a lot of prizes. He wanted people to ruminate about warm emotion which disappearing in modern society.

This movie’s background is a beautiful countryside. There are two girls. One girl is Satsuki who is 11 years old. She is a tender and a well-behaved. Another girl is Mei who is 4 years old. She is a curious and a mischievous girl. One day, Mei met small and strange animals by chance. Then, she met a big Totoro who was an acorn tree’s fairy. After then, Satsuki, Mei and Totoro became a friend.

There were so cute and colorful characters. This movie made me fall back into a childish innocence. While I was watching the movie, I was able relive my childhood. The most impressive scene in this movie was when they met Totoro one night. The girls look out to see the three Totoros doing a dance around the garden patch. As they did this, the seedlings start to sprout. The girls ran out to join them, and all five start to dance as the acorn forest starts to grow at an amazing rate into a massive tree. It made my imagination run away. After I watched this movie, I felt something warm in my heart. Sometimes I wanted to go back to when I was a child and not forget my pure heart.
