My Neightbour Totoro is at the Barbican until 21 January 2023.
Totoro is a kind of Japanese Winnie-the-Pooh and has become a legend both in Japan and around the world. The film by Miyazaki dates from the 80s, but is set in 50s Japan, in the countryside. This first ever staging of the film is a triumph. I even dressed up as a Totoro, accompanied by my Japanese husband, Tadashi, and teenage daughter, Emily, who has grown up with the whole Studio Ghibli film library.
