Weirdest thing to me about this movie is that its theatrical release was as a double feature - with My Neighbor Totoro. How's that for an emotional shift in gears?

Totoro is pretty tragic itself tbh. I would be a wreck after that double feature

Yeah that’s true. I normally turn my brain off for Totoro and just enjoy the ride. But if you stop and think about it, it’s quite sad.

The sibling dynamic in Totoro reminds me of my relationship with my younger sister. The scene when Mei is lost and calling for her sister has me ugly bawling every time.
