My Neighbor Totoro Picture Book (New Edition)
My Neighbor Totoro Picture Book (New Edition): New Edition | Hayao Miyazaki
6 posts | 5 to read
One of Studio Ghiblis most beloved classics, Totoro celebrates its 25th anniversary! The companion book to the beloved animation classic My Neighbor Totoro, by legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki. Featuring artwork taken directly from the movie, this updated edition will allow parents and children to relive Totoro's magical adventures with scene-by-scene illustrations and character dialogue. Eleven-year-old Satsuki and her sassy little sister Mei have moved to the country to be closer to their ailing mother. While their father is working, the girls explore their sprawling old house and the forest and fields that surround it. Soon, Satsuki and Mei discover Totoro, a magical forest spirit who takes them on fantastic adventures through the trees and the clouds--and teaches them a lesson about trusting one another.

It feels like forever since my husband and I had any time to ourselves as we've been handling a lot of relatives problems. Tonight we saw a special showing of My Neighbor Totoro in the theater! It's one of my favorite movies and we had such a wonderful time. 💕

Lreads @CouronneDhiver I‘m going to the doctor tomorrow to have my knee examined and make sure it‘s healing okay. It‘s really bruised up and lumpy. Thank you for asking! ☺️ 6y

saresmoore This looks so familiar! 8y
Ruri_kaichou @saresmoore I was thinking the same thing! 😂😂 8y
Linear I havent seen Totoro since 2002 but i love Howels moving castle! I would love if studio gibli made Vassa in the night into a movie. I feel like they would be the best to capture the story. 8y
SpeculativeFemale This just reminded me, I haven't watched Totoro with my son yet. He loves Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away, but I need to show him the rest of our Miyazaki movies. 💙 8y
Foragingfantasy I just discovered there is a Ghibli Fest going on, Totoro is playing this weekend in select theaters. I think it's one of his movies a month. https://www.fathomevents.com/series/studio-ghibli-fest 8y
Librariana I've never seen My Neighbor Totoro...... But!! They're showing it at our local theater this weekend (what @Foragingfantasy shared! 😊) and my sweet husband is being an angel and taking me to a showing!! 😄😄 8y

This was strangely my very first thought for #brokedownpalace so bear with me. When Tatsuo Kusakabe takes his girls Mei and Satsuki to live out in the country to be closer to his wife in the tuberculosis hospital, they end up staying in this tiny rundown old house filled with dust and soot sprites. Never once do any of them complain. Tatsuo acts pleased and excited about every problem so the girls come to love it like a palace.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Much thanks to my nigh-3 year old for allowing me to use his book. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Recently saw online that this movie is so beloved in Japan that there is an EXACT replica of the house down to the tiniest detail and visitors can open all the cabinets and pick up and touch everything. 8y
mcipher I love love love that movie! Haven't seen it in years, I should watch it again. Also: there's a real cat bus in Japan, too. It's so cool (in pictures, sadly I have never seen in real life). 8y

Talking my wife into letting our son watch anime was a hard sell, but once I finally got her to watch My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service she fell in love (how could you not?) and now they play in heavy rotation.

We've got picture books of Totoro, Kiki, and Ponyo (saving that movie for when he's a bit older) and it is wonderful to hear my son using names like Satsuki Kusakabe and Kanta Ogaki when he plays.

BookishMarginalia Great story! I'm glad you managed to win your wife over! 8y
RealLifeReading My kids adore Totoro and Ponyo. Coincidentally they' just watched Totoro (again for the...6th? 7th?) time today! 8y
