Mads’ latest craze, other than driving us all (Lucie included) ragged and tired, is Miyazaki’s anime classic, My Neighbor Totoro.
This movie has been mentioned on so many parenting blogs I read, I figured we give it a try. At first, I thought Mads would be scared, but she wasn’t. (It helps that the girls in the movie don’t seem scared at all.) Also to note: This is the first movie that she sat still for a majority of the time (more so than Nemo AND Shrek)!
I’m also happy to read that Totoro is the Winnie-the-Pooh equivalent in Japan. I can see why!
