** Magic that heals the soul**
Hayao Miyazaki created in "My Neighbor Totoro" not just an animated film, but a real work of art that can touch the hearts of viewers of any age. This is the story of two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, who, after moving into a new house, discover the wonderful world of forest spirits and meet the mysterious Totoro.
Visual perfection
The animation of the film impresses with its beauty and detail. Each frame is filled with life and warmth, and the color palette cr...
Totoro is not a Japanese traditional character, but the creation of Hayao Miyazaki. They look like a mixture of several animals: fukuro 梟(ふくろ) (owls), neko 猫(ねこ) (cats) and Tanuki 狸(たぬき) (raccoon dog). These are cute creatures that viewers consider to be anything from giant furry creatures to rabbit-like spirits.
The name Totoro comes from the fact that Mei mispronounces the word tororu, a Japanese word meaning troll. Maybe the child didn't know how to describe the creature, so she called it a troll, although it was something else. When Satsuki asks her: Totoro? Are you talking about the troll in our book?" she is referring to the book "Three Mountain Goats" (The Three Billy Goats Gruff). In the closing credits, their mother can be seen reading the book to them. Although it's hard to see on film, in an anime picture book you can see a picture on the cover depicting a goat, while a troll similar to Totoro looks out from under a bridge.
gray and fluffy totoro with a big mouth and an equally big soul, which at the same time resembles a bear and an owl, the traditional spirit of nature is something that could only arise in the mind of the most talented creator of the master animator.
My neighbor Totoro is art in its purest form
I hope the girls' mom will recover and soon she will also get to know the wonderful neighbor Totoro)
Well, it 's a solid 4 !
They are not shy about nudity and bathe together for quite a long time.
And of course the Cotobus 🩷
Totoro himself is very small, the family history is shown more, and the spirit itself is not felt here. But it's still very beautiful, atmospheric and interesting, a clear "4" 😊
Kotobus is funny)
Kotobus is a luxury bus. How do people manage to generate such images in their heads?
