Query: My mother's childhood Japan

Gorgeous backround art, adults who don't ridicule children and their magical perspectives, and a story which touches on yet resolves a common childhood fear...my children and I all loved My Neighbor Totoro. We saw it playing by chance at a local video store, were immediately entranced by its beauty, and kept watching because of the story and characters. The main characters are two young sisters and their father coping with the prolonged illness of the mother. Through the magic of a wondrous and kind creature, they gain the courage to hope. My mother, who was raised in Japan, said this animated movie depicts the countryside as she remembers it: Green, ancient, and with room to play and imagine. END
