It can be very hard to imagine a way forward during scary times, but My Neighbor Totoro reminds us that we can always find a light in the darkness. When faced with what feels like insurmountable odds, doubt can start to creep in – about ourselves, about our abilities, and about our futures. My Neighbor Totoro provides a simultaneously whimsical and honest look at how we can keep hope in the dark times, and work on figuring out how to build a brighter tomorrow together.
