My Neighbor Totoro - Other Ghibli animations
The 1989 anime version by Studio Ghibli of the original novel by Eiko Kadono tells the story of the young girl Kiki, who to prove her abilities as a witch has to survive on her own for a year. The Ghibli director, Miyazaki, interpreted this as symbolic of the conflicts in contemporary Japanese society of young girls having to find their identity in the world. The story features a flying broomstick, Jiji the talking cat, and Tombo, a geeky boy obsessed with aviation, and is set in a fictional town, somewhere in Scandinavia.
