My Neighbor Totoro, & Panda Go Panda! would probably be the best choice for a 3 year old.




I however hate the Disney dub for Totoro. I have the Disney version of Totoro, but I think that Disney should have picked other people to be Satsuki and Mei. I hate Dakota, and her sister is just as bad as her.

The best one is probably Kiki's Delivery Service...pretty inoffensive and good fun.

My two-year-old likes <i><b>Totoro</i></b> more than any movie in my collection, with the possible exception of <i><b>Dumbo</i></b>. I think Roger Ebert sums up some of the film's best qualities in his 2001 <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbc ... >review</a>:

"Here is a children's film made for the world we should live in, rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap."

Rather unlike most Disney films in those respects...
