Long & Plotless

The animation is amazing as always, but I found this "story" to be lacking. Some scenes drug on and well over an hour later when the credits came on, I still hadn't figured out what the plot was supposed to be. I feel like the movie never came out of the exposition phase.

The style was great. The English voices were well done. The idea behind Totoro and the other spirits was exactly what I'd expect out of a traditional immersive Japanese environment. I only wish Miyazaki had actually told a story with his well thought-out characters.
