Cant find a piccie - i'll have to take one when i get home...
In the meantime here is a lovley still from a film I want to see so badly i could weep. In Japan there is a museum dedicated to the studio ghibli. The museum has a cinema and they have a special short movie thats only ever been shown there - it's about a trip that Mei (little sister) takes one night during the totoro movie that we didnt get to see - she goes for a secret trip in a kitten-bus while everyone else is asleep... and sees a meeting of all the cat-busses at a cat-bus convention!

I'll give it a try - but y'know much as I'd love to - I think Tonari no Totoro is one of those things that either hits you or doesn't.
You've seen it right? Y'know when Satsuki and Mei are waiting for the bus in the rain - and Mei is tired so Satsuki lets her sleep on her back. And they stand there in the rain waiting -
Satsuki turns round and Totoro is waiting there beside them with a huge leaf on his head. Just waiting for a bus.
First time I saw that I almost choked I laughed so hard - Something bad is happening (the fate of the girls mother - as yet unknown, they are both cold and tired and waiting in the dark in the pouring relentless rain) and something wonderful is perhaps just around the corner - (ie the new "Neighbors"馃槈
Like I say - it either hits you or not. No harm if "not" - but I think as films go it's near perfect.

Same here. That was probably my favorite part. I was dying with laughter after I saw it. 馃槀 It was so cute! The last time I saw that movie was when I was around 8 or so (I'm 14 now) and that's the part that I most remember...That and the dust bunnies. Haha. Luckily, one of my friends has it and he's letting me borrow it for a while. Weee! 馃拑

If you think its not Miyazakis best it's an opinion not a fact - but you want a totoro doll so we will let you off.
I got the original 12 movie Ghibli box set - so im assuming you mean the new Dub/Sub version box? Isn't it 14 movies across seven disks? You might not have been ripped off... if it is the one you have - are they in fullscreen or widescreen - because if its wide I'm going to get one! Yay!
