According to the environmental journal Ambio, My Neighbor Totoro "has served as a powerful force to focus the positive feelings that the Japanese people have for satoyama and traditional village life". The film's central character Totoro was used as a mascot by the Japanese campaign "Totoro Hometown Fund Campaign", which aimed to preserve areas of satoyama in Saitama Prefecture. [84] The fund, started in 1990 after the film's release, held an auction in August 2008 at Pixar Animation Studios to sell over 210 original paintings, illustrations, and sculptures inspired by My Neighbor Totoro. [85]For some reason she doesn't fear goblins (Totoros), and the goblins that open up to her because her child's world has not yet been tainted by the common scene of adults-but this may also be due to her loneliness. Even Satsuki must bear up, but not having her mother around is an even greater hardship for a four-year old. a b Pilling, David (September 15, 2007).

I'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli movies and have great respect for the amazing artist that is Hayao Miyazaki. The way he tells stories in his movies is beyond me. As a big Ghibli fan I can say that this book is unmissable on your bookshelf. I watched the movie around 4 or 5 times by now but the book has a fair amount of extra content. Winner of six Olivier Awards and five WhatsOnStage Awards , this “utterly beguiling” (The Stage) and “jaw-dropping” (Metro) staging of the celebrated 1988 animated feature film is brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi, in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer). a b "在日本，地位最高的动漫是哆啦a梦么？".

This is a very light and enjoyable read. There is nice artwork for sure, though in its reduced size it's not as grand as the film or even video would be. it would never have won its worldwide audience just because of its warm heart. It is also rich with human comedy in the way it observes the two remarkably convincing, lifelike little girls... It is a little sad, a little scary, a little surprising and a little informative, just like life itself. It depends on a situation instead of a plot, and suggests that the wonder of life and the resources of imagination supply all the adventure you need. [63] My Neighbor Totoro Film Comic, Vol. 1".
