To do this, all players need to do is design their first four houses to unlock the polish tool, and then design another eight homes to unlock more polish effects.

There is love and life and laughter and beauty in that moment, as well as sorrow and loneliness and fear.Shared on TikTok, used the new polish tool from Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ DLC Happy Home Paradise along with a custom design of some adorable little Soot Sprites to give the effect that the tiny spirits were living inside a cardboard box - just like in the 1988 animated film. It presents to us a moment in two lives, a moment that contains all the meaning in the world. Some may find the lack of a well-defined plot in My Neighbor Totoro a disappointment, but I believe that the richness of Miyazaki’s world and the beauty of his character depictions are all that this story needs. I half expect them to step off the screen. These seem not to be animations but real people. The details he imparts to his characters make them come to life and I wonder if I have ever seen an animated child seem quite so childlike as I do when I watch his two young protagonists laugh and shriek gleefully for no reason, or when I see them tripping about the yard totally oblivious to their clothing-to stains, to tears, and to the flashing of undergarments. I am always amazed at the eye Miyazaki has for human nature. To see the world through their eyes-young, innocent, and unafraid-is a great gift, and one that helps weave the enchantment more strongly. It is wild and strange, but they trust it with the type of trust only children can bestow and they find themselves richly rewarded. They embrace it whole-heartedly, taking its existence for granted and never questioning its benevolence. The children, of course, are our guides to understanding this new world. It goes its ways as it pleases, yet never seems standoffish. It is everywhere, yet typically nowhere to be found. It is a part of the home and yet also part of nature. Yet at the same time it manages to seem benign, even friendly.

Its rules are unexplained, its ways strange, and its appearances almost frightening. The film just succeeds in suggesting the potential of magic without even seeming to try.Īnd what a magic the children find! It is like nothing that viewers could have predicted. From the first moments when we see the family ride through the countryside to their new home, audiences know that something extraordinary must await them-and yet everything around them looks perfectly normal. No other film that I can think of, not even from Studio Ghibli, has quite the same blend of childlike belief, natural wonder, and magical strangeness as the background for its story. My Neighbor Totoro possesses a charm that is, perhaps, all its own. When Mei and Satsuki Kusakabe move to the countryside, they discover the woods nearby are inhabited by magical spirits called Totoros.
