My Neighbour Totoro (1988) ( Tonari no Totoro ) ( My Neighbor Totoro ) (Blu-Ray & DVD Combo) [ NON-USA FORMAT, Blu-Ray, Reg.B Import - United Kingdom ]

I absolutely love my copy of Totoro with the ORIGINAL English dub. I had been searching for years and could not find a copy. I am very very satisfied with the sound and image quality of my copy. Thank youuu!

I’m sorry but I didn’t grow up with the version of the Fanning sisters and it really bothered me to the point I never watched it until I was determined to find the original, which is this DVD I purchased. I do wish I could find it on blu-ray, but beggars can’t be choosers and I’m and extremely happy with my purchase. So, if your looking for the original voices and not the fanning sisters this is totally an amazing nostalgic buy!!

Been looking for the OG version for years and suddenly here it is. Can't tell you how happy it made me to hear the voices and songs of my childhood. The quality of the film is amazing for how old this movie is.

I grew up on THIS English dub. The one without the Fannings. I have nothing against them, it just isn't what I'm used to, and I love this one. This is 100% the correct one, and if you're searching for THAT dub, buy this one!

Good product. Works as advertised.

This DVD is the real original English dub not the remake with Dakota fanning, so happy my kids can watch the movie I used to watch as a kid

There is a moment in "My Neighbor Totoro" that demonstrates what sets it apart from so many so-called family films. Four year old Mei has wandered into the giant tree chasing two little creatures called Totoros. She falls into a pit and lands near a giant sleeping totoro. Eventually she falls asleep. When her big sister Satsuki returns home she and their father discover her. Mei tells them about the totoro.A lesser children's film would have the father believe she was making it up, and the two children would soon not trust their father and go to great lengths to keep the creature a secret. But the father in "My Neighbor Totoro" believes his children are telling the truth. He believes it so much that he thanks the spirits for watching after Mei. The father can be a little absent minded, but he has such a good heart and is a kind person who loves his two daughters. When was the last time a family entertainment was about two sisters instead of two brothers, or a brother and sister?That is one of the magics of "My Neighbor Totoro". It demonstrates that family films don't have to be about children whose parents die in the first scene, or have evil villains, comical sidekicks, or even songs. (Only two songs occur at the beginning and end. One of them has nothing to do with the story.) It also has a character (a boy next door) that made me laugh not because he was acting funny, but because he behaved in the exact way that boys his age acted around girls.When I wasn't laughing at some of this film, I had a very big grin on my face. I was caught up in this family, as well as the neighbors. The totoro's completely won me over. The giant one was like a big fat cat when it sleeps.I would like to mention another scene. The father and his two girls enjoy a bath together. This was a scene I feared would cause some concern with parents I recommended the movie to at Hollywood Video. I had a response to them: In Japan it is traditional for families to enjoy evening baths together, although they take a quick shower before entering the bathtub together. It is considered impolite otherwise. The scene is interesting and something that would be very unlikely to be shown in any American film, let alone a family entertainment. Disney certainly wouldn't include such a scene. I believe it is a scene that parents could discuss with their children involving the differences between American and Japanese cultures. But in all my years at Hollywood Video not one parent ever came back showing such concern.I would like to finish by indicating that the legendary Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurowsawa called "My Neighbor Totoro" one of the best films he had ever scene. To have such an honor given by someone who was considered at that time to be the greatest living director says a lot for any film. But for an animated film, it's truly an astonishing achievement. Seeing "My Neighbor Totoro", I can understand why Kurowsawa would say that. It is one of the best family films ever made.FOOTNOTES: Some of the review is information from Helen McCarthy's fantastic book: "Hayao Miyazaki, Master of Japanese Animation". It is available at Amazon.com(Special Update): Since I originally wrote this review, MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO has been re-released twice on DVD by Disney, with an updated English dub. The other release is a re-packaged one that was put out at the same time Miyazaki's PONYO was released. This new dub features Dakota Fanning and her real-life sister Elle as Satsuki and Mei. The movie is not only flawlessly dubbed but is completely uncut with the original music and effects soundtrack. My opinion has not been changed. It is still an absolute delight all the way through.

DVD was new in package. This is the best version of Totoro and very hard to come by. Fox video is the only English dubbed totoro you should watch. After disney took over the world they chose to re dub this movie with the voices of the Fanning sisters and Tim Daly the actor from wings. Well that royally sucked!! That's all I've got to say about that. So in summary go with the original Fox video Totoro!! The end!

Ein echt süßer Film. Auch als Erwachsener kann man sich Mangas & Co ansehen und dieser Film ist einfach perfekt.

ich habe diese CD Rom nur gekauft, weil sie mir bei meinem Besuch in Japan empfohlen wurde. Es sind Zeichentrickfiguren, die in Japan bekannt sind. Die Geschichte ist etwas gruselig...der pädagogische Wert für Kinder hat sich mir nicht so recht erschlossen.

Mein Nachbar Totoro ist ein absoluter Klassiker und wohl einer der bekanntesten Animations-Filme überhaupt. Neben Prinzessin Mononoke und Chihiros Reise ins Zauberland, ist Mein Nachbar Totoro ein Must-Have für Sammler und Studio Ghibli Fans.Die Geschichte ist gar nicht so besonders oder abgefahren, wie bei anderen Filmen aus dem Studio. Tatsächlich basiert diese auf den Erlebnissen von Hayao Miyazaki selbst, der als Kind sehr viel mit der Krankheit seiner Mutter zu kämpfen hatte, diese hatte Tuberkulose. Aus diesem Grund geht der Film einem aber umso mehr unter die Haut, gerade wenn man älter ist und sowohl die beiden Kinder Mei und Satsuki als auch die Eltern und Nachbarn verstehen kann. Fantasie tut ihr übriges.Es gibt über den Film auch ein paar Theorien, die ich persönlich aber nicht glauben / nachvollziehen kann, da man sie zu sehr widerlegen kann. Falls ihr euch dafür interessiert, sucht einmal nach "Mein Nachbar Totoro Theorie oder My Neighbour Totoro theory".Wie üblich bei der Studio Ghibli Collection kommt der Film gänzlich ohne Werbung und sowohl auf Deutsch als auch auf Japanisch inkl. Untertiteln. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen ist die deutsche Synchro auch hervorragend. Ich glaube an an einem japanischen Schrein betet eine der beiden Schwestern zu Jesus... Komisch.

Wir schauen uns das Video / Anime immer wieder gerne an. Es ist einfach so schön! Es rührt zu Tränen, nimmt einen vollig mit. Die Charaktere sind so liebevoll - so wünscht man sich die Welt! Ein paar Wunder dieser Art täten dieser wahrlich gut!
