If you loved Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland, try Mein Nachbar Totoro
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
foreign gem
What Mein Nachbar Totoro is
Rural Japan, spring, a moving truck. Two sisters and their father settle into a new home near a hospital, trees looming with giant presences. This gentle fantasy is best watched on a lazy Sunday morning.
