“My favorite Miyazakiu0026#39;s movie is u0026quot;Princess Mononokeu0026quot; on a graphical scale. But on a u0026quot;charming scaleu0026quot;, this one is really the best.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven the Disney movies are not so charming than this movie. Poetic, charming, cute, I canu0026#39;t find the words to describe the good this movie made to me. Miyazaki brings us into the wonderlands of the children, better than u0026quot;Alice in wonderlandu0026quot; or u0026quot;Peter panu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn fact, Miyazaki makes us loving children. In the movie, the children run, shout all time, laugh, cry, and so on. In the real world, I hate this. In normal movies I hate this too. But, here, every actions of the two little girls touch us deep in our heart. We learn to love childrenu0026#39;s world.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEvery one of us will have a smile on this face, from the beginning to the end of this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy favorite scene is the first encounter between Mei and Totoro. Itu0026#39;s fun, poetic, and charming. Miyazaki succeeds to make a movie enjoyable for the very little kids (4 y.o.) and for the adult audience. Itu0026#39;s very rare to succeed doing that !u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReally, a masterpiece !u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e10/10 !”
