Tonari no Totoro - My Neighbour Totoro

This childish film with childish sensibilities doesn't alienate its' adult audience, and in fact one of "Totoro's... strengths is that the scenes devoid of a huge furry monster don't feel like token "serious bits" and actually take time to explore the characters and their situation. Released at the same time as the harrowing Grave of Fireflies, Totoro is simple, inventive and memorable.
