My Neigbor Totoro
(1988, 87 min, G) -
Featuring the voices of Tim Daly, Dakota
Fanning, Elle Fanning, and Lea Salonga
This acclaimed animated tale by director
Hayao Miyazaki follows schoolgirl Satsuke (Dakota Fanning) and her younger
sister, Mei (Elle Fanning), as they settle into an old country house with
their father (Tim Daly) and wait for their mother (Lea Salonga) to recover
from an illness in an area hospital. As the sisters explore their new
home, they encounter and befriend playful spirits in their house and the
nearby forest, most notably the massive cuddly creature known as Totoro.
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
(2014,
137 min, PG) - Featuring
the voices of Chloe Grace Moretz, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Darren
Criss, and Lucy Liu
Legendary Studio Ghibli cofounder Isao
Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies, Pom Poko) revisits Japan's most famous
folktale in this gorgeous, hand-drawn masterwork, decades in the making.
Found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by an old bamboo cutter (James Caan)
and his wife (Mary Steenburgen), a tiny girl grows rapidly into an
exquisite young lady (Chloë Grace Moretz). The mysterious young princess
enthralls all who encounter her - but ultimately she must confront her
fate, the punishment for her crime. From the studio that brought you
Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and The Wind Rises comes a powerful and
sweeping epic that redefines the limits of animated storytelling and marks
a triumphant highpoint within an extraordinary career in filmmaking for
director Isao Takahata.
Grave of the Fireflies(1988,
88 min, PG)
- Featuring
the voices of J. Robert Spencer, Rhoda Chrosite, Veronica Taylor, Amy
Jones, Crispin Freeman, and Nick Sullivan.

Seita and Setsuko are two young Japanese children growing up in the waning
days of World War II. Much to Seita's pride, their father is in the
Japanese navy, and they live fairly content lives in Kobe despite
rationing and the other privations of war. When their mother dies from
burns suffered during an American fire-bombing raid, a distant aunt takes
them in -- and conflict eventually forces the children to try to survive
on their own. At first, Seita and his little sister enjoy their idyllic
lives in the country, but harsh reality eventually settles in as Seita
begins to understand the difficulties of taking care of a young child when
both food and compassion are scarce.
