Is this a childrens movie? Yes, of course it is. No bad guy whatsoever, and only a genius like Miyazaki could pull that off. One of the things that makes this film shine, at least for me, is that there is absolutely no antagonist role. There are points that it is hilarious, a few points where it makes one slightly nervous, the animation is outstanding (as with all Miyazaki films), and aside from lacking a little bit in plot (what movie doesn't nowadays?), the story is wonderful. It has everything a person, of any age, could want. Miyazaki created a true masterpiece with this film. Well, that's a pretty typical happenning around the house here. Suddenly, he stops at My Neighbor Totoro and smiles. Picture if you will, a 27 year old male, scanning through his dvd collection, trying to figure out what to watch, on a boring night at home.
