MCSI PRESENTS: MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO

SUNDAY APRIL 24
Thurgood Marshall Middle School’s Citizen Science Institute presents:
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO
11:00am doors / 12:00pm film
$11 general / $8 members
Tickets available online or at the box office one hour prior to showtime.

One of the most endearing and internationally renowned films of all time, a film that Roger Ebert called “one of the five best movies” ever made for children, My Neighbor Totoro is a deceptively simple tale of two girls, Satsuki and Mei, who move with their father to a new house in the countryside. They soon discover that the surrounding forests are home to a family of Totoros, gentle but powerful creatures who live in a huge and ancient camphor tree and are seen only by children. Based on Miyazaki’s own childhood imaginings, Totoros look like oversized pandas with bunny ears and they take the girls on spinning-top rides through the treetops and introduce them to a furry, multi-pawed Catbus — a nod to Lewis Carroll’s Cheshire Cat.

Dir: Hayao Miyazaki / 1988 / Japan / 86 min
