01:
11:23,290 -- 01:11:24,380

I'll go look!

574

01:
11:25,790 -- 01:11:33,450

Kanta, hurry!

Tell your father that Mei-chan is missing!

575

01:
11:41,890 -- 01:11:44,900

Stupid Mei. Always getting lost.

576

01:
11:52,320 -- 01:11:54,930

Mei!

577

01:
12:01,280 -- 01:12:03,980

Excuse me, mister. Umm...

578

01:
12:05,330 -- 01:12:08,062

Did a little girl pass by on this road?

579

01:
12:08,063 -- 01:12:09,959

She's my sister.

580

01:
12:09,960 -- 01:12:12,626

I wonder... A little girl?

581

01:
12:12,627 -- 01:12:15,250

I would remember if I saw one.

582

01:
12:16,260 -- 01:12:17,930

I wonder if it was another road?

583

01:
12:37,360 -- 01:12:39,609

Are you sure she came this way?

584

01:
12:39,610 -- 01:12:41,080

I don't know.

585

01:
12:49,620 -- 01:12:52,380

Mei!

586

01:
13:13,060 -- 01:13:15,470

Please, stop!

587

01:
13:17,440 -- 01:13:18,819

Idiot! What are you doing?!

588

01:
13:18,820 -- 01:13:22,500

I'm looking for my sister.

Have you seen a little girl?

589

01:
13:22,700 -- 01:13:23,989

Your little sister?

590

01:
13:23,990 -- 01:13:25,673

I think she's on her way

to the Shichikokuyama Hospital.

591

01:
13:25,674 -- 01:13:28,159

Four years old, a little girl.

592

01:
13:28,160 -- 01:13:29,619

Ryoko-chan, did you see anyone?

593

01:
13:29,620 -- 01:13:30,990

Uh-uh.

594

01:
13:31,040 -- 01:13:33,189

We came from Shichikokuyama,

595

01:
13:33,190 -- 01:13:35,700

but we didn't see anyone like that.

596

01:
13:36,170 -- 01:13:38,580

I see. Thank you.

597

01:
13:39,050 -- 01:13:40,839

Where have you come from?

598

01:
13:40,840 -- 01:13:42,049

From Matsugo.

599

01:
13:42,050 -- 01:13:43,830

Matsugo?

600

01:
13:43,890 -- 01:13:46,090

Isn't there some mistake?

601

01:
13:46,970 -- 01:13:48,150

Well, bye.

602

01:
13:59,480 -- 01:14:01,770

Satsuki!

603

01:
14:02,650 -- 01:14:05,170

Kanta!

604

01:
14:05,990 -- 01:14:06,659

Did you find her?

605

01:
14:06,660 -- 01:14:08,570

No. And you?

606

01:
14:09,200 -- 01:14:11,409

Father and the others are looking for her.

607

01:
14:11,410 -- 01:14:13,669

I'll go to Shichikokuyama for you.

608

01:
14:13,670 -- 01:14:15,499

You go back home.

609

01:
14:15,500 -- 01:14:18,901

Mei tried to get to the hospital

and got lost on the way...

610

01:
14:18,902 -- 01:14:19,959

I'm sure.

611

01:
14:19,960 -- 01:14:22,930

A while ago, they found a sandal in the pond.

612

01:
14:29,970 -- 01:14:32,980

We don't know for sure

if it belongs to Mei!

613

01:
14:49,870 -- 01:14:51,590

Did you find her?

614

01:
15:22,940 -- 01:15:27,529

Dear Lord, please protect her and...

615

01:
15:27,530 -- 01:15:30,239

The mud's deeper over there!

Try there first!

616

01:
15:30,240 -- 01:15:32,900

Hey, are there any poles left?

617

01:
15:41,130 -- 01:15:43,640

Granny, Satsuki-chan's here!

618

01:
15:47,970 -- 01:15:49,850

Granny!

619

01:
15:50,800 -- 01:15:52,880

This... This is it.

620

01:
16:01,940 -- 01:16:03,510

It's not Mei's.

621

01:
16:13,790 -- 01:16:15,852

Thank heavens,

622

01:
16:15,853 -- 01:16:19,369

I thought for sure it was Mei-chan's.

623

01:
16:19,370 -- 01:16:21,209

What, Granny jumped to conclusions?

624

01:
16:21,210 -- 01:16:24,049

Hey, it was a mistake!

625

01:
16:24,050 -- 01:16:25,879

Where could she have gone?

626

01:
16:25,880 -- 01:16:27,549

We'll have to start over again.

627

01:
16:27,550 -- 01:16:29,299

We better hurry, it'll be dark soon.

628

01:
16:29,300 -- 01:16:33,099

Thanks everyone.

Let's divide up and search some more.

629

01:
16:33,100 -- 01:16:34,900

We've found...

630

01:
17:03,210 -- 01:17:06,339

Please let me through to Totoro's den.

631

01:
17:06,340 -- 01:17:09,613

Mei is lost.

It'll be dark soon.

632

01:
17:09,614 -- 01:17:12,440

I'm sure she's scared somewhere...

633

01:
17:43,080 -- 01:17:44,410

Totoro!

634

01:
17:46,130 -- 01:17:50,429

Totoro, Mei is lost and we can't find her!

635

01:
17:50,430 -- 01:17:53,210

Please, find Mei.

636

01:
17:53,800 -- 01:17:56,350

I'm sure she's crying somewhere right now.

637

01:
17:57,390 -- 01:17:59,900

I don't know what to do...

638

01:
18:58,530 -- 01:19:00,460

They can't see it.

639

01:
19:47,710 -- 01:19:54,640

Note:
FOREST-SWAMP changes to MEI

640

01:
20:11,730 -- 01:20:16,410

Mei-chan!

641

01:
20:23,790 -- 01:20:25,500

The trees are leaning out of the way!

642

01:
20:56,990 -- 01:20:58,830

Mei!

643

01:
21:02,490 -- 01:21:05,000

Sis!

644

01:
21:06,540 -- 01:21:07,990

Sis!

645

01:
21:07,991 -- 01:21:10,240

Mei!

646

01:
21:19,470 -- 01:21:20,509

Mei!

647

01:
21:20,510 -- 01:21:22,710

Sis!

648

01:
21:25,470 -- 01:21:26,389

You silly girl.

649

01:
21:26,390 -- 01:21:28,380

I'm sorry.

650

01:
21:30,690 -- 01:21:34,240

You wanted to take the corn to Mom?

651

01:
21:40,360 -- 01:21:43,830

Note:
MEI changes to HOSPITAL

652

01:
21:46,160 -- 01:21:48,210

Will you take us to the hospital?

653

01:
21:50,500 -- 01:21:52,130

Thank you so much.

654

01:
22:01,050 -- 01:22:02,287

I'm sorry.

655

01:
22:02,288 -- 01:22:05,980

They didn't need to send

a telegram just for a cold.

656

01:
22:06,220 -- 01:22:10,849

The girls must be worried.

I'm sorry for that.

657

01:
22:10,850 -- 01:22:13,490

Well, the kids will be relieved when they hear.

658

01:
22:13,600 -- 01:22:18,870

Our good times are just put off

for a little while, that's all.

659

01:
22:20,280 -- 01:22:23,859

Those kids have to put up with so much.

660

01:
22:23,860 -- 01:22:27,520

I'm especially sorry for Satsuki,

she's so sensitive.

661

01:
22:27,950 -- 01:22:29,400

You're right.

662

01:
22:29,950 -- 01:22:34,079

When I get home,

I plan to really spoil them.

663

01:
22:34,080 -- 01:22:35,220

Oh no!

664

01:
22:42,470 -- 01:22:44,429

Mother's laughing.

665

01:
22:44,430 -- 01:22:45,839

Looks like she's fine.

666

01:
22:45,840 -- 01:22:46,940

Yeah.

667

01:
22:54,520 -- 01:22:56,979

Ah, I've got to hurry and get well.

668

01:
22:56,980 -- 01:22:58,100

Yeah.

669

01:
22:59,070 -- 01:23:00,270

What?

670

01:
23:06,570 -- 01:23:08,020

Where did that come from?

671

01:
23:09,950 -- 01:23:11,170

What's the matter?

672

01:
23:11,660 -- 01:23:13,347

Just now, in the pine tree,

673

01:
23:13,348 -- 01:23:15,910

I thought I saw Satsuki and Mei laughing...

674

01:
23:18,130 -- 01:23:20,379

Maybe they were. Look!

675

01:
23:20,380 -- 01:23:23,850

Note:
This is for you, Mother!

Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿, Miyazaki Hayao, born January 5, 1941) is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author, and manga artist. A co-founder of Studio Ghibli, a film and animation studio, he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest animation directors. Born in Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo, Miyazaki expressed interest in manga and animation from an early age, and he joined Toei Animation in 1963. During his early years at Toei Animation he worked as an in-between artist and later collaborated with director Isao Takahata. Notable films to which Miyazaki contributed at Toei include Doggie March and Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon. He provided key animation to other films at Toei, such as Puss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island, before moving to A-Pro in 1971, where he co-directed Lupin the Third Part I alongside Takahata. After moving to Zuiyō Eizō (later known as Nippon Animation) in 1973, Miyazaki worked as an animator on World Masterpiece Theater, and directed the television series Future Boy Conan. He joined Telecom Animation Film/Tokyo Movie Shinsha in 1979 to direct his first feature films, The Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, as well as the television series Sherlock Hound. Miyazaki co-founded Studio Ghibli in 1985. He directed multiple films with Ghibli, including Castle in the Sky in 1986, My Neighbor Totoro in 1988, Kiki's Delivery Service in 1989, and Porco Rosso in 1992. The films were met with commercial and critical success in Japan. Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke was the first animated film to win the Japan Academy Prize for Picture of the Year, and briefly became the highest-grossing film in Japan following its release in 1997; its distribution to the Western world greatly increased Ghibli's popularity and influence outside Japan. His 2001 film Spirited Away became the highest-grossing film in Japanese history, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 75th Academy Awards and considered among the greatest films of the decade. Miyazaki's later films—Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises—also enjoyed critical and commercial success. Following the release of The Wind Rises, Miyazaki announced his retirement from feature films, though he returned to work on a new feature film in 2016. Miyazaki's works are characterized by the recurrence of themes such as humanity's relationship with nature and technology, the wholesomeness of natural and traditional patterns of living, the importance of art and craftsmanship, and the difficulty of maintaining a pacifist ethic in a violent world. The protagonists of his films are often strong girls or young women, and several of his films present morally ambiguous antagonists with redeeming qualities. Miyazaki's works have been highly praised and awarded; he was named a Person of Cultural Merit for outstanding cultural contributions in November 2012, and received the Academy Honorary Award for his impact on animation and cinema in November 2014. In 2002, American film critic Roger Ebert suggested that Miyazaki may be the best animation filmmaker in history, praising the depth and artistry of his films. more…
