My Neighbor Totoro

To live near to their mother, who is recuperating from an illness in a hospital, little Mei and her elder sister Satsuki are moving with their father to a house in the country. Playing in the yard one day, Mei spots a tiny creature and follows it into the hollow of a hugh tree. There she discovers Totoro, a giant, furry creature the size of a small house, fast asleep. Totoro and his friends can't be seen by adults, but only by the children who love them. Mei and Satsuki fly with Totoro on a warm summer night, plant a giant tree that grows in minutes and sit high in its branches. The girls also call on Totoro for help when they are in trouble.
