Stunningly beautiful, slightly talkie at the end, but absolutely, one of Ang Lee's best: yes!

Official Site: http://www.rangomovie.com/ Netflix: http://movies.netflix.com/Movie/Rango/70137742?trkid=496624 Adorable Japanese animated film suitable for young kids and adult too. A treasure in frequent play here at our home! No other animated film has captured the attention of our two year-old.
(Fox version.) Netflix:http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/My_Neighbor_Totoro/60032294?trkid=2361637 More info: http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/totoro/ Jacques Tati's screenplay is adapted and directed by The Triplets of Bellville creator and the result is a beautifully crafted yet emotionally distant film.
