Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

There is a scene where the father bathes with his children. None of the genitals are seen, but there is a glimpse of the buttocks. It's very inoffensive, but you may have to understand that families bathing together is part of Japanese culture and not meant to be sexual in any sense.

Additionally, there is a glimpse of the Catbus's scrotum, but it is very hard to notice (and plus you're probably not looking there or thinking that way because this is a children's film. Who wrote this comment? Honestly...)

Violence & Gore

None

Profanity

None

None

None, really unless your child is easily frightened. The big Totoro is a little intimidating, though totally friendly. The cat bus is a bit freaky looking, but again, totally harmless.
