John Lasseter and the guys at Pixar are big Hayao Miyazaki buffs. So I don't know why I'm surprised that my pals at
AnimeVice discovered that Totoro is making a guest appearance in
Toy Story 3, but I am. I'm of the opinion every nerd child should have a copy of
My Neighbor Totoro and a stuffed Totoro doll, and my progeny-spawning friends can tell you that I back that up when it's baby-gift time. Anyway, as an anime nerd, it's just nice. Very classy, Pixar. Not that I expected anything less.
