This Studio Ghibli classic tells the story of two young girls and their magical adventures. Satsuki and Mei move to a house in the countryside with their father to be closer to their mother, currently in a nearby hospital. Upon arrival they find the house to be inhabited by small, dust-like spirits. Although these leave once the family settles in, the girls soon discover a wondrous world of spirits living in the woods nearby. One of these spirits is Totoro, a gentle giant with a very big roar, who the girls befriend.
These special screenings at CAST have been organised by the Museum of Cornish Life in partnership with Mor Media Charity as part of Animate Helston.
