Nostalgia for the most part.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

As you get older like me more horrible shit happens in your life. You see loved ones die. You see your time getting closer and closer. You see many opportunities wasted. Sadness galore... And those sad things I mentioned happen to EVERYONE. Even the luckiest of us all who have fame, power, money, talent etc etc... So you appreciate the good stuff every now and then and because life can be so cruel... The opposite feeling can often feel the most empowering. Kind of like going for a while without a drink and you feel like crap, but the second you get your drink after waiting longer than usual, it's better than ever some how lol. Or if you play a video game or watch a movie. Then not play it again for like... 5 or 10 years or whatever... And then you play it again and it's like 80-90% feeling like a new game to you, just because it's been soo long since you played it and a lot of your memory/muscle memory isn't what it once was. Gotta get back into the grove which usually takes folks a few days of on and off playing. Might take a week on some games and how busy you are with other things in life. I'm blayzed and ranting away lol. What am I doin.

[@BogusLettuce]

Because you miss being a kid, when things were simpler and nothing got you down. Being an adult sucks.

[@TheDansonT]

Its easy to reminisce and say, “ah, simpler time”, but you know what? I’m 29 and living in 2020. I truly believe this movie and Miyazaki instilled this film with lessons to live one’s life to the fullest. Rewatching the film is truly healthy and uplifting.

[@kryten1992]

ditto mate on the age and the feeling that the future is just gonna eat you up. thats reason enough to not want to grow up but I've found these challenging times force you to adult which can make you forget about the fun and the simpler times but as long as you don't forget the fun you can cope with asulting and dead lines. to yourself and other who see your comment and this one don't lose what defines you and makes you happy.

[@KhanhNguyen-gk9ms]

As someone who has never seen this film until now, I can confirm I've just finished watching it today for the first time and I'm crying inside of my head. It's because I'm putting myself into the shoes of all of you guys replying here and I'm imagining if I ever saw this as a child. I wish I did. But regardless, I finally saw the film today, and it was a masterpiece. I feel you, man. Times like this aren't simple as it was anymore when this film first came out. However, like you've said, rewatching this film also gives you a will and purpose to push forward and live life to the fullest.

I never watched this movie as a kid. I watched it as an adult studying at uni. However its innocence brings me so much nostalgia I always tear up when I hear this song. What an amazing thing to feel from a movie, being way outside its target audience. I will always have it in my heart.

[@mook_10]

no one is outside of the target audience! they're such intelligently and lovingly crafted movies that they are in no way exclusive to kids. ghibli (and specifically my neighbor totoro too) is just so wonderful. passion into the craft like that crosses any and all age barriers

Totoro was such a great movie I loved every moment of it

[@kdmc896]

this was always my favourite movie growing up. the first time i watched it i was probably about 3 or 4 years old, im now 14, i struggle so much with addiction and mental health even though im still so young. so many times ive gotten so overwhelmed with my life i completely disappeared from my friends for hours on end, and only recently one of them called the police to make sure i was okay and that was kinda my wake up call that i do have people that acre about me. sometimes it’s difficult to realize that though when the voice thats been living in your head for about five years constantly tells you no one actually cares. to cope, ive started to watch the movies of my childhood, and it really does help a lot, but none of them help as much totoro. i want nothing more in my silly little life than to tell the team that worked on this film that theyve saved me so many times in the last few weeks its unbelievable. and to whoever is reading this comment i hope you have a good day

[@laurasardo561]

It’s sad that your struggling at such a young age but I’m really happy that this movie is helping you. I support you and I hope that you are doing well now and in the future too.

[@keithmoon3190]

This song takes me to the late 80s even though I wasn't alive at that time. Also even though I'm not into anime a lot, Miyazaki is an exception since he manages to not focus on too much clichés but tells more original stories. Totoro is probably one of the best gifts from Japan we received aside from Mario and Sonic.

The Disney dub of this song might've been better if someone like Lea Salonga, who voiced the girls' mother, had sung it.

Especially now that the film is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

[@Wulf2604]

Michael Kurland I like the Disney dub better

[@darthkurland]

Léa Strasser I admit that it’s better written and voiced. However, I think that the two songs should have been performed by Lea Salonga instead of Sonya Issacs.

[@SumanTiwariNamaste]

Well then that would be Disney and Not Japanese Ghibli.

[@mypartnerbertha4359]

Perfect choice.

[@joeltrekwars2162]

I've watched this movie today through the Internet Archive, after hearing about it all the time online and I vaguely recall seeing trailers/posters for it when I was very young. This movie is enchantingly beautiful. The expected "dragons" that are supposed to be threatening our designated protagonists do nothing of the sort, and instead help them out freely. The kids show no fear of the otherwordly, and they really only are afraid their mother would die. I'm also surprised they didn't ask Totoro to help their mother, just find the little sister. But I believe there are things even Totoro cannot do, and the mother got better in the end, so happy ending was assured for all.

This song made me really sad in the credits especially at the end of the song. I knew it was over at this point. Totoro had left. I didn’t know if I was going to see him again. I felt like Mei did when she found out that her mum wasn’t coming home from the hospital for another week. It made me want to give Mei a hug during that scene. To think that a child could have so much hope that something good could happen and then suddenly all that hope is lost.

Living in the forest trees, For such a very, very long time! There you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! You only see him when your very young, A magical adventure for you! It's magic for you. Rain tumbles down... The bus is late. Suddenly, a furry wet giant Is by your side! Don't be afraid... Just open wide! Your umbrella for him, Watch him play in the rain! Now begins a new adventure for you! And you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! And on a moonlit night, He plays a magic flute in the sky! There you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro!
