LOL, when you have little kids you almost never get to see a movie all the way through. I babysat a little girl who LOVED to watch Annie. But never all the way through. So I've seen the first half of Annie about 17 million billion times, but I can't even remember what the second half is about

Yes!! My nephew was sooo into Spider Man when he was little (not necessarily a movie I'd let my kids watch at 4 but not my kid so not my choiceLOL, when you have little kids you almost never get to see a movie all the way through.

) but back then you couldn't just skip previews like you can now. By the time the previews were over he'd lost most interest and didn't stick around.

I love Miyazaki's films! Many of them were released by Disney in the U.S.A., but the dialogue in the dubbed versions changed the story and were too wordy. The best dubs were the close translations from the Japanese.
(I have seen a lot of Miyazaki Hayao's anime though. For study purposes.
I used to watch them as Japanese practice. It was too much for my poor brain to try and watch a whole movie in Japanese, so I'd watch around 30 minutes every evening and pause and play back any really difficult bits until I could catch what was said.
Loved the cat bus! Tonari no Totoro was a sweet film with memorable music. My favorite is Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi or Spirited Away.I used to watch them as Japanese practice.

Tonari no Totoro was my favourite. I must have watched it about six or seven times altogether.
