_My Neighbor Totoro_ and \*Ponyo \*are both perfect for little kids.

My Neighbor Tortoro and Ponyo are awesome for that age, as is Kiki’s Delivery Service.

For kids, yes, I’d recommend\* Totoro\* and _Ponyo_. My 8 yr old son loves both, as do I.

For my favorites, I’d have to go with _Howl_ and _Totoro_. I love the characters in Howl and the look of it as well. \* Totoro\* is just plain fun.
