This is a masterpiece. Some films bring us unforgettable scenes. This is one of them. There is one scene, where the Totoros dance around a flower bed, where the girls had planted some accord seeds. The girls join the Totoros, in this childish dance to make the seeds sprout. To me as an adult, this was such an enchanting scene. To my children (3 and 4 years) it was magic, as we danced like the Totoros. The kids loved it, even not speaking English. I'd like to add a small detail, that can be seen on the DVD: the japanese version is full of silent scenes. In the dubbed version, those silences are almost always filled with some background dialogue. It doesn't spoil the dubbed version, but makes an interesting cultural detail.
After seeing the Toy Stories, Shrek, Monsters and others, I went to see Jimmy Neutron. Unlike the others, this film has no "adult" meaning, in the sense that it can appeal to young and old. It's meant for children only.
Having said that, I won't quibble about the not-so-cool animation, about the rather shallow storyline or about the plot holes. Let me tell what my 4-year old said: "Daddy, I want to see it again!!!". For the kids it was great. Lots of planes, spaceships, burps, flying action. I guess that if children voted, this film would have a much better score.

The show is GREAT. No words to describe it. Wonderful music. Incredible dance. The editors couldn't spoil it, not because they were not *that*bad*, but because the show is really *that*good*.
The editors are compulsive cutters, you can't see a scene without a cut for more than 15 secs. It's OK to show various angles, but those guys were working with multiple cameras for the first time in their lives, and they will remind you of how many cameras they have every five seconds on average... They manage to film the start of a jump with one camera, then cut it in the middle, and show the rest of it in another angle.
No matter how much they tried, they couldn't spoil that wonderful show. It's a must for dance and music lovers.
