The girls discover that the nearby forest is inhabited by magical creatures and spirits of Japanese folklore, unseen by most humans.

The eldest sister, Satsuki, attempts to balance her responsibilities at home and school while caring for Mei. One day, Mei stumbles upon a large, gentle, and extraordinary creature in the forest, which she names Totoro. This mystical forest guardian, unforgettable with his large eyes and soft fur, introduces the sisters to a series of whimsical adventures, creating a bond between them.
