• We love My Neighbor Totoro, so much so that my son asked for a stuffed totoro, and I made him one. Crocheted it. Thats my Christmas gift idea for all the kids in the family now!! A stuffed Totoro and the movie!

• Hey Rob I second that, even if it's not babies and not nerds.... if it's children up to 12 and theyre not lucky enough to own a copy.. i feel obligated to enrichen their lives with a copy... but offcause some kind of giftsituation is required. Just because their parents are not enlightened, doesn't mean their kids have to suffer with the same ignorance :)

• Aw, that's a nice little touch.

• That's fantastic. I have numerous Toto plushes as an adult. Now if only the robot from Laputa: Castle in the Sky could show up and meet Wall E.... Hell, someday I want to build a full scale model of the robot like the one at the Ghibli museum.

• Totoro? I watched the whole video and never once saw the guy who got peed on by that toy robot.

• Pixar + Miyazaki = heart filled with joy... something wonderful to distract from the horribleness of the world.

• WIN x 1000! Gifting My Neighbor Totoro to friends' and relative's children is legally required, you know...

• Disney found a way around the whole copyright infringement issues: just buy the company with their devil money. yes, Disney is now no longer a partner to Ghibli. yes, Disney is now a major shareholder in Ghibli. the faith full my now start crying ....

• this makes me so unbelievably happy. i've loved totoro ever since i was really little. i still have a VHS copy of it even though its unwatchable. have the dvd and a few plushies :D easily my favorite miyazaki movie. it's just so beautiful. and yes, this should be a quintessential kids movie. haha can't wait to see totoro in this :)

• Agreed.

• This made my day.

• I DEMAND CATBUS. Fo reals.

• Will he really be Totoro or will he be Jotoro like Kimba/Simba so they can make money off of something that's not theirs?

• another reason to have to go see Toy story 3. mostly to look for Totoro too bad Disney can not put him in their toy story toy line but thankfuly Totoro has his own merch. a nice combination. and props to John for getting Totoro to do an appearance

• Others may cite SPIRITED AWAY or PRINCESS MONONOKE, but I say MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO is hands-down Miyazaki's masterpiece and one of the finest films of any kind ever made. Several of my friends who have kids can attest to me handing said offspring Totoro stuffed toys along with the movie, and to this day those now-teenaged kids look back fondly on the big gray guy. Christ, I love that movie...

• Awesome

• This makes me so happy. I was a Totoro nut when I was eight or so. And then I was a Toy Story nut was I was 12. :D

• this has made me smile.

• What does everyone think of the trailer, anyway? Has Toy Story lost some of its charm over the years? The amount of animated films Pixar and other studios have produced since Toy Story means that this film is going to have to be REALLY good. Not just as an animated movie, but as a movie. From the trailer it looks pretty good. I like the inclusion of a Ken/Barbie romance.

• Totoro doll... Yup, daughter's had one for years. And the blue dude with the leaf-stalk thing. Still digs those Jonas Bros. though, as well as Doctor Who. I guess it only half-worked.

• you can Legos who makes a small cameo the movie

• He only appears for a split second in the trailer, but if he at least had a small role in the story it would nice. No lines, just maybe a scene where he helps someone out somehow.

• Huh. Honestly didn't see that coming, that's a nice little cameo... Wonder why they've never had Gundams in there, though, every kid has at least one Gundam.
