About
A young girl named Satsuki and her little sister, Mei, move to the countryside with their father to be closer to their mother, who is undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital. As the girls adjust to life in their new home, a cluster of scuttling dust spirits spark a change in the weather. Soon after, rabbit-like creatures appear, leading Mei and Satsuki to discover a hidden community of magical spirits that live amongst the trees and bushes that line the neighbouring rice fields.
As the reality of their mother’s absence begins to take its toll, Mei decides to take matters into her own hands — a choice that prompts Satsuki to seek the help of her newfound friends.
An unforgettable tale of family and friendship, My Neighbour Totoro — from Studio Ghibli’s Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki — is a wondrous portrait of life as seen through young eyes, and a heartwarming reminder that help is never far — sometimes, just a magical Catbus ride away.
