'My Neighbor Totoro' at The Nightlight

The Nightlight is excited to bring you yet another Studio Ghibli classic, My Neighbor Totoro. Get tickets now and bring the whole family to enjoy the story of sisters Satsuke and Mei as they move to the countryside, into an old, dusty home to be closer to their hospitalized mother. While staying in this new area, little sister Mei explores and discovers an array of critters, including the cuddly gray Totoro.
"The fourth feature from the seminal Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki is a small masterpiece, and one of the best films made about childhood. Miyazaki uses his simple framework to delicately tease out weightier ideas and deep emotions, crafting a gentle but compelling 80-odd minutes. The design and animation are, as ever with Miyazaki and his Studio Ghibli, impeccable, with as much loving, painterly detail invested in the bright rural setting as in the magical critters that populate it (including its famous "cat bus"). Joe Hisaishi, meanwhile, contributes a well-judged musical score to complement the film's visual style. Ultimately, its peculiar beauty and lasting effect lie not just in its images, memorable though they are, but in its distinctive tone: the calm, often soothing way it presents its charming slips into fantasy." - Radio Times
