You ever see a film called My Neighbor Totoro when you were a kid?

My wife bought it for my daughter, it's great. Its by Written by Hayao Miyazaki. No motorcycles, but it does have a giant cat-bus.

All the Miyazaki films. I forget how old your daughter is but she should have a diet consisting almost exclusively of Miyazaki.

The only movies my daughter knows are totoro, ponyo, kiki, arietty and room on the broom.

I don't know how kid friendly it is but please check out Song of the Sea and then maybe let her watch it.

I dunno what happened to me (I developed empathy) but I'm a blubbery mess when it comes to these movies now. I cried like a baby at the end of this one, no lie.

You should have her check out the Gruffalo and then the Gruffalo's child. Both are pretty fantastic.

I was shocked by how much my daughter likes Totoro. She's enamored.

I misspoke. Gruffalo is the only other one she's seen.

The three she requests are always Ponyo, Totoro or Kiki. Mostly Ponyo.
