¡Hola SEA!

I mean Totoro has a fine narrative- it's just a film in which there is never really much *danger* or *darkness* compared to even your average children's story. The basic conflict is that the family's strained by the mother being sick, and Totoro and the other little forest spirits come out of hiding to help support the family.

It's almost an experiment in tone- just how gentle a film can be without getting saccharine or smushy, just, a nice light story about a family finding some friends.

it's got a whole subplot about a village scouring the countryside for a missing four year old and at one point they all think she drowned. it's one of the more intense sequences in miyazaki's whole filmography
