I don't usually care much about film critics, but how often does one hear praises for anime movies from US film critics? "A Real Treasure ... A Wonderful Movie" raves Roger Ebert, who also says "Very few films come along that are magical for all ages and are wholesome, sane, intelligent and entertaining. `My Neighbor Totoro' is one of them" Need I say more?
News: Disney soon to distribute Totoro worldwide!

            Satsuki rides the Nekobus in search of Mei.
        The Nekobus runs through the forest, bending trees out of
        its path.  "But how does he make it do that?" -- Satsuki.

        The Nekobus high-tension-wire act, running with four
        legs, holding the other eight outstretched for balance.
        Satsuki leans out of one window on the Nekobus' right.

  • nekobus.goodbye.mov (2.4M, 18 sec, no audio) 
            Mei and Satsuki sit in the back of the Nekobus,
        swaying back and forth with the stride, the tail
        swinging in counterpoint.  Then we see the Nekobus
        loping along from the right cutting to the girls
        outside their home, with the Nekobus fading away
        with a Cheshire grin as Mei and Satsuki wave goodbye.
