I had always heard great things about Totoro, so I was incredibly excited to finally sit down and see what it was all about! I was certainly surprised by the content of the film, as I was really unsure of what to expect, but it’s extremely wholesome nature was something not often found in movies but certainly welcome! It was incredibly heartwarming in it’s messages regarding family and it was visually stunning in its fantastical elements, definitely the perfect film to cap off my final Friday on campus before traveling home. But overall, the film just brought a smile to my face, and that’s really all one can ask for in the middle of a global pandemic and constant change.
