Princess Mononoke or My Neighbor Totoro?

[theophilus]

I prefer Totoro. It is "magical", imo. The detail is amazing and the story is touching. There are a couple of elements reminiscent of Alice of Wonderland but softer.

1. I love Princess Mononoke, one of my all time favorite movies

But I've never seen the other film. I will have to check in out. :)

5. Yes, check it out! It is "lighter" in subject matter but so beautiful.

Just something about it.......

3. Mononoke, hands down.

Totoro is fun, and it's even beautiful at times, but Mononoke is pure visual crack and story-line heroin.

Though Totoro wins in the laughter category.

But I think my fave Miyazaki is Spirited Away.

4. I like Spirited Away better than Mononoke for the plot, etc.

I really like the Nature message in Mononoke but there is just something about Totoro that grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. I think it is the rural beauty and the simple way of life as shown in the story. It was set in the 30s (?) or thereabouts. I would just love to be able to live out in the country and enjoy an unspoiled landscape as depicted in the picture. Anyway. It came out in 88. I only saw it for the first time recently. I still haven't seen the other films named in the thread. I look forward to seeing them all. I might change my pick then.
