Studio Ghibli and GKIDS recently released 20 incomparable films from the famed Studio Ghibli library for the first time via digital download. And I couldn’t be more excited.
My family LOVES Studio Ghibli movies. We own almost all of them and spend nearly every weekend watching one (much more often now that we are stuck in our home). It is impossible to choose a favorite because they are all just SO GOOD. Talk about a whole new level of animation! WOW!
If we had to narrow it down Kiki’s Delivery Service, Howl’s Moving Castle, and My Neighbor Totoro are in our top three — but honestly, that list could change on a daily basis. When we heard that Studio Ghibli and GKIDS were joining forces with Apply TV to make 20 of their films available on digital we were thrilled. This is the perfect time to complete our collection!
And to help get one lucky reader started on their Studio Ghibli collection, I am giving away a digital copy of My Neighbor Totoro. Trust me when I say you will instantly fall in love with this giant forest spirit!

About My Neighbor Totoro
When Satsuki and her sister Mei move with their father to a new home in the countryside, they find country life is not as simple as it seems. They soon discover that the house and nearby woods are full of strange and delightful creatures, including a gigantic but gentle forest spirit called Totoro, who can only be seen by children.
Totoro and his friends introduce the girls to a series of adventures, including a ride aboard the extraordinary Cat Bus, in this all-ages animated masterpiece from Academy Award®-winning director Hayao Miyazaki which features the voices of Tim Daly, Lea Salonga, and real-life sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning, in one of their earliest roles.
