	My Neighbor Totoro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Totoro is Mei's mispronunciation of torōru, the Japanese version of the English word troll.
		The final encounter with Totoro in the film occurs when Mei, distraught when she learns that their mother's visit home has been cancelled due to apparent worsening conditions (a suspicion which proves to be unfounded), sets off on foot to the hospital and gets lost.
		The character of Totoro made a cameo appearance in one episode of the Gainax TV series Kareshi Kanojo no Jijo (His and Her Circumstances), which was likely director Hideaki Anno's way of paying tribute to Miyazaki.

	Story // Tonari no Totoro // Nausicaa.net
		They wake her up, and Mei asks where the Totoro is. She goes running back down the tunnel, only to re-emerge a moment later a few feet from where she entered, the pathway she had taken earlier now gone...
		Surprised to see the Totoro, who is wearing a large leaf on his head, she offers him her father’s umbrella so he will not get (any more) wet.
		Totoro takes her to the top of the camphor tree and calls out for the neko-bus, which bounds across the countryside and jumps to the top of the tree.

	My Neighbour, Totoro
		For the girls, this forest is a portal into a world of adventure and the home to fantastic woodland spirits including their large, furry neighbour, Totoro.
		Unlike the enraged wolf spirits of Mononoke, Totoro and co are warm, friendly and welcoming.
		My Neighbor Totoro is yet another outstanding Studio Ghibli creation and for a film made in 1988, it is still fresh and vibrant as the day a human hand applied paint to each individual animation cel.

	Kazzie's Place :: My Neighbour Totoro
		My Neighbour Totoro is an animated film by Hayao Miyazaki, who is one of the greatest animators and directors in Japan.
		There are three Totoro's, Chibi Totoro - a small white one, Chu Totoro - a medium sized, blue one, and O Totoro - an extremely large one.
		Totoro is a little deeper in meaning and theme, but isn't as disturbing or "wierd" as other anime, and there's no violence at all (so deviating from the percieved Anime norm).

	My Neighbor Totoro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Totoro is not based on any exact Japanese mythological or folk character, but does spring from the idea of nature spirits in Japanese culture.
		When Mei tells Satsuki about seeing a Totoro, Satsuki says "You mean like in our book?" In the closing credits the girls are shown in bed with their mother as she reads a book to them.
		The area where Totoro occurs is fictitious, but is supposed to be in the rural area just outside of Tokyo in the early 1950s.

	My Neighbour Totoro Review
		Already an artist working at the height of his powers in 1988, "My Neighbor Totoro" showcases Miyazaki's delightful iconography of spirits, demons, and wood sprites at their most gentle.
		Suitable even for the youngest demographic, "My Neighbor Totoro" tells the story of Satsuki and Mei, two sisters who move into a haunted house to be near their sick mother who is in the hospital.
		During this difficult time, wood creatures and spirits come to their aid, including the Totoro, a furry, egg-shaped cross between a rabbit and a bear with a wicked roar.

	My Neighbor Totoro // Nausicaa.net
		Totoro is a forest spirit that little Mei, and later her older sister Satsuki, encounter in a giant camphor tree near their new home in the countryside.
		Although their father, a university professor, is with them when they move, their mother is in the hospital, recovering from some unnamed illness.
		When Mei hears that her mother's condition may be worsening, she resolves to visit her all by herself.

	My Neighbour Totoro
		IIRC we only see Totoro four times, and then Totoro is going about Totoro's business: sleeping, darting about the countryside, making the seeds sprout, or waiting for a bus.
		Received my copy of the Korean My Neighbour Totoro DVD today (with [ltd edition] picture frame), and thought you might like to have some additional information in your Ghibli comparision.
		My HK-edition is out on a loan, so I can't compare directly, but from memory it's the same.

	Movie Gurus - Movie Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO is squarely aimed at small children, whom I am sure will enjoy it a lot.
		Meandering about somewhat aimlessly, a plot of sorts only kicks in about fifteen minutes before the end of the movie when the girls receive a disquieting telegram regarding their mother who is in hospital for an unspecified ailment.
		In fact my wife cried a tear or two during the movie — and I can’t remember the last animated effort that elicited that kind of response from anyone.

		Totoro and his friends cannot be seen by adults, only by the children who have the capacity to believe in them.
		All is well with the two young girls until a telegram arrives from the hospital: their mother won't be visiting them as planned.
		Totoro is called to the rescue when trouble occurs.

	DVD Times - My Neighbour Totoro
		The premise behind My Neighbour Totoro (or Tonari no Totoro as it is known in Japan) is a relatively simple one that will require an open mind to fully appreciate.
		My Neighbour Totoro maintains the now standard Studio Ghibli design which features a letterboxed image on the front cover with a coloured border, adorned on which are the various film and studio logos.
		Depending on the film the quality of dubtitles varies, fortunately My Neighbour Totoro is blessed by the fact it is hardly a dialogue heavy film, and thanks to a decent English Dub script the dubtitles are generally forgivable with only the occasional faults of extra dialogue and expanded dialogue rearing their ugly heads.

		Totoro becomes the protector of the two sisters, watching over them when they wait for their father, and carrying them over the forests on an enchanted journey.
		My Neighbor Totoro is enormously popular in Japan, and some of the character merchandise has begun to appear in America.
		The Totoro is magic at its best, soft enough to sleep on, able to fly about the forest, grow giant trees and summon a cat bus that will always take you where you need to go.

	My Neighbour Totoro
		Totoro is nothing more than a nice simple story about a family that moves into the country side, I believe the reason is so they can be closer to their hospitalised mother.
		The two daughters come into contact with a forest legend known as Totoro and their lives become a lot more interesting.
		The animation is still very high quality considering the movie came out in 1988, I was very surprised and impressed when I rewatched the film.

		The characters, especially Totoro himself, are beautifully drawn and charming.
		Unlike Totoro, these kind of movies completely resort to potty humor and have no gentle tone or magic.
		While films like those will be long forgotten, Totoro will go on into the hearts of all film-lovers forever.

		When is 1988 when it was released, Isao Takahata, at the same time, relesed Grave of the Fireflies, which is the exact opposite, so one film would my you happy, the other, whilst deeply moving, would put in the position of crying.
		My Neighbour Totoro is probably one of Miyazaki's best works, and I would recommend this film to anyone.
		Their mother is unwell in hospital and during their move and 'the getting used to' period, they both uncover a magical world run by a mysterious huge moomin looking thing called Totoro and his/her/its friends.

		My Neighbor Totoro is that rare delight, a family film that appeals to children and adults alike.
		While the mother is in the hospital, the two girls begin to explore the surroundings of their new dwelling.
		"Totoro" is a real winner for all the family, but I would advise prospective buyers to wait for the Disney/Buena Vista release later this year.

		In order to be closer to the hospital that their mother is in, the girl’s father, Kusakabe, relocates them to a new home in the countryside.
		The Totoro’s cannot be seen be adults so they are therefore dismissed as a product of the children’s imagination.
		Essentially, My Neighbour Totoro is just one of those movies that simply can’t be passed up at all.

		My Neighour Totoro is a charming tale about Saksuki and her little sister Mei who move to a new home in the country to be near their ailing mother.
		Totoro was so iconic that it became Studio Ghibli's mascot and logo, appearing at the beginning of every Ghibli film since.
		The cinematography is fantastic and the scene where the girls are waiting for the bus is one of my favourite scenes in anime.
