''Totoro'' is one of Miyazaki's best known films. Totoro himself became the mascot for Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki does not gloss over some of the more frightening aspects of childhood, though: the girls are terrified of their mother dying, a common goat seems monstrous from little Mei's perspective, and the whole village's fright and anxiety when Mei goes missing is almost palpable. Even Totoro--with his huge grin, inscrutable expression, and manic eyes--can be a little scary; Satsuki refers to meeting him as both the funniest and the scariest day of her life.

* GoodParents: Professor Kusakabe is probably one of the nicest fathers in all of anime--and he's ''effective'' as a parent, to boot. He never talks down to his daughters even when they're talking about having seen Totoro; not even the audience can really tell whether he honestly believes them or is simply humoring them. If anything he seems to value their imaginations. Also, judging from the way Mei and Satsuki adore her (and her kind and gentle manner during her few scenes), it's pretty clear their mother qualifies, too.
