One of Studio Ghibli's most beloved works, this magical tale follows two girls as they befriend a woodland spirit. 

Sisters Satsuki and Mei move home to be closer to their convalescing mother. After encountering susuwatari (house sprites), young Mei is led to a camphor tree, in which she finds the larger spirit Totoro, and an adventure within nature begins. 

Featuring a bus-shaped cat, a ceremonial dance and a terrific soundtrack, this Studio Ghibli classic is a joyful exploration of our relationship with the environment.
