The sequel focuses on the character Mei Kusakabe from the original film and her one-night adventures with Kittenbus, the offspring of Catbus, and other cat-oriented vehicles. The film was originally set to be an hour long but during production it grew to respond to the social context, including the reason for the move and the father's occupation. Eleven-year-old Satsuki and her sassy little sister Mei are overjoyed about moving into a historic country house with teir dad - but the girls don't realise what a delightful adventure awaits them there. The dual billing was considered "one of the most moving and remarkable double bills ever offered to a cinema audience".

I have watched the film version of "My Neighbor Totoro" many times, and it is certainly a firm favourite of mine, although, I must admit, this time the film wins over the book. Oga's work on My Neighbor Totoro led to his continued involvement with Studio Ghibli, which assigned him jobs that would play to his strengths, and Oga's style became a trademark style of Studio Ghibli. The soundtrack for My Neighbor Totoro was first released in Japan on May 1, 1988, by Tokuma Shoten, and includes the musical score used in the film, except for five vocal pieces that were performed by Azumi Inoue, including "Stroll", "A Lost Child", and "My Neighbor Totoro". My Neighbor Totoro ( Japanese: となりのトトロ, Hepburn: Tonari no Totoro) is a 1988 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten. Thirty years after its original release in Japan, My Neighbor Totoro received a Chinese theatrical release in December 2018.The narrative picks up the pace midway through, introducing the reader to a colorful cast of characters who live in the village and help acclimate the family to rural living. Therefor I thought this book would be great because for once there would be no nead to cut or change, you can just take a wonderful movie and turn it into a book. Gr 4–6—Satuski, Mei, and their father move to a rambling house in the country to be closer to their hospitalized mother. this book is fantastic, totoro the icon of studio ghibli is such a homey and sweet story, I love that it falls into that magical and fantasy genre, it is really something very warm to read, I adore its characters and more the small and shy rabbits who follow totoro everywhere. In 1989, Streamline Pictures produced an English-language dub for exclusive use on transpacific flights of Japan Airlines.
