If you loved Princess Mononoke, try My Neighbor Totoro
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Princess Mononoke, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What My Neighbor 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.
