Animation is beautiful, characters are cute and lively, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful, however there really isn't a plot till the end. Its them discovering dust bunnies and playing with totoro, but there isn't really a goal they're working towards. Even at the end, it seems more like a small thing, finding the smaller sister and delivering something to their mother. So, complete points for everything besides plot. More of a movie to watch while cleaning or catching up with friends.
