My Neighbor Totoro Memories

I first encountered Hayao Miyazaki's animation when I was in elementary school. My dad heard someone recommend Totoro at the video rental store and bought it for me. As soon as I saw it, I was hooked on that chubby creature and its little sidekick, Totoro. And the cute Catbus too. Whenever I feel down, watching a Miyazaki animation helps me get through it. His animations don't just have beautiful scenery, the storylines are also fantastic. They're worth watching over and over again.
