My Neighbor Totoro (Annecy Classics)

With Annecy Classics, the Festival is paying tribute to timeless films which have made an impact on the history of animation. These screenings are the opportunity for reminding us about the journey of brilliant directors, highlighting the avant-garde techniques in animation, putting a focus on emotional storylines, and celebrating key events. Take a break and rediscover the great animated classics!

To celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the film, Annecy Classics is devoting a screening to this classic of Japanese animation, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The multiple award-winning film tells the story of Satsuki and Mei, two young girls who have moved to live with their father in the middle of paddy fields in order to be closer to their ill mother recovering from an illness. As they quickly become familiar with a new environment, they soon get to know Totoros,  marvelous creatures and spirits of the forest only visible to the pure of heart.

A childlike ode to nature full of joy and colour that left a mark on a whole generation!
