These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: My Neighbor Totoro
Broken Base: There's no real unanimous agreement over which is the best way to see the film: with the Japanese version, the FOX/Streamline dub, or the Disney English dub? As with most hotly debated dubs, you'll have to decide for yourself.
Ear Worm: The ending theme may not immediately be ear-wormy, but it can take time to grow roots.
Whether you like it or not, it can easily get stuck in your head.
Reading the comments that debunk said theory make everything ten times better. Really.
And some of the theory's points are easily proven rubbish by just watching the movie carefully.
Memetic Mutation: The visual of Satsuki with Mei on her back waiting at the bus stop with Totoro is often redone with characters from other series by fanartists.
Values Dissonance: You will not believe how some people jump to the conclusion in the scene where the father and his daughters are bathing together that it must be pedophilia when that situation is considered perfectly normal and wholesome family time in Japan and many other countries.
Cosign. It's hard to explain to Americans, but sexualized body modesty and nudity taboos aren't universal concepts at all, especially in the case -as here - of young kids and their parents.
