Because they're children and that's what they do!

I didn't find the shouting and running annoying. I thought Mae and her sister (forgot her name) were quite cute and likeable characters.

This movie looks really good, and is one of the very few Studio Ghibli movies that I haven't gotten round to seeing yet but really must

Running and shouting like kids, for sure!
But don't forget that sometimes Miyazaki's movies or anime series he worked are very speedy (I mean, with many characters running everywhere, like the constables in the Sherlock Holmes anime or sometimes in Porco Rosso, etc... It's kinda chaotic but it is one of the different faces of Miyazaki's great work).

Concerning Tonari no Totoro, it is a good way to check that after 2 years of self japanese, you could understand 50% of the two kids's saying And if my ear is not bad, it seems that I understood that the original ending song is a 'resumé' of the story (but I lack vocabulary ). It is also a very fresh and cool anime, very nice to see from times to times.

But to despair was to wish back for something already lost.
Or to prolong what was already unbearable.
