Average Rating: 
Rating: - Miyazaki's most charming film
I must rate this DVD in two parts. I'll star with the film. A solid 5 stars. This is a film with something for everyone. The entire family can watch it together and enjoy it. There's no villian, no violence, not crude humor, and no objectional material (the family bath scene is completely innocent) Though very young children will probably not notice, older kids might find some of the movie rather upsetting. Scenes like the mother in the hospital and Mei being lost might bother more sensetive children a bit. That being said, This is still a great film for people of all ages. The english dub may sound a bit goofy at first, but once you're use to it (it only takes a few minutes) the voice acting is good and the dialog is solidPart two of my review will focus on the DVD. I give it a single, lonely star. The only reason it recieves one star is becuse the film does have the video and audio clarity you expect from a DVD. Now for the bad: 1) The cover. I dunno who drew this thing, but it's ugly. 2) No special features. This is especially annoying since the menu sheet says "Acsess 'My Neighbor Totoro' special features by pressing te MENU key on your remote control" well you can press it all day long and it'll only take you to the simple menu. 3) No japanese option. If you're a purist then this is a major fault. 4) the biggest problem with this DVD is that is has no subtitle feature for the hard of hearing. It's closed captioned, but what about people that have old TVs? While the DVD is very basic, it is also very affordable and the movie alone is worth the purchase price
Rating: - Animee masterpiece...Terrible DVD, buy the video.
I couldn't wait for My Neighbor Totoro to be released on DVD. When I finally received the DVD, what a disappointment. Its full screen (pan&scan) and the audio is sub par. Fox rushed this out only to capitalize off of Spirited Away's success. Its basically the Videotape edition transfered to disc. Anyone who appreciates the advantages of viewing DVDs and the artistic genius of Miyazaki will be greatly let down. Disney has done a beautiful job on Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service and Castle in the Sky. I only hope Fox will rerelease a better edition of this masterpiece.
Rating: - Wonderful movie, terrible DVD
No Japanese, no widescreen option, mediochre image quality, no extra features except some previews for other Fox movies, and that tacky illustration on the cover... Fox needs to take a tip from Disney about giving some respect to Miyazaki's work in a DVD edition.This is one of the best children's films ever made in any language. It's a shame this DVD edition doesn't do it justice.
