My Neighbor Totoro

Just finished watching it and it's really lovely. Utterly charming and quite moving with the underlying worry throughout (for those who haven't seen in, I won't go into detail).
I'm glad I finally got to see it. So are there any sequels to it?

Oh, if you want to see The Cat Returns you should probably watch Whisper of the Heart first (which was written but not directed by Miyazaki Hayao). Cat is a loose sequel; it's fun, but not the best effort to come out of Ghibli.

You should also add Pom Poko and My Neighbors the Yamadas, which were directed by Takahata Isao, the guy who did the much more depressing Grave of the Fireflies. They're both very quirky films. As I mentioned, you're welcome to borrow my copies and free up Netflix for other things.
