Rose Faerie's Review
Violence: There is none.

Sex and Nudity: There is a single instance of a father bathing with his daughters, and you see some child butt. It's clearly non-sexual.

Theological Themes: The dad suggests Totoro is forest spirit.

Problematic Themes: There are no substances or swearing.

Overall: This was my first anime, even before Pokemon. It played a huge part in my childhood, and I loved it. It holds a special place in my heart and is a classic in my household. It is an excellent portrayal of childlike wonder and the power of the imagination. (Though I sure hope Totoro wasn't supposed to be imaginary. That would ruin my childhood.) As a child I identified with Satsuki, as I too was an older sister, and Mei is the embodiment of my youngest sister. This is a delightful family film, suitable for all ages. I very much recommend it.
