| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about My Neighbor Totoro |
|---|
Two sisters and their dad move to a new house. Their mom is in the hospital, and they really want to see her. Then, strange things start to happen when the two girls meet a strange bunch of creatures in the biggest tree on their property, letting them get the opportunity to see that their mom is okay. It's a kids movie, but it's really good.
