It’s difficult to explain why I want to see a monster with heavy fur but My Neighbour Totoro movie just has that effect on me. It is for this reason that I have decided to travel to Tokyo from Langkawi and visited Studio Ghibli in Mitaka. When I arrived to the Inokashira Park, I could not believe that these Studio in the woods were actually in the middle of a congested crazy suburb of the city! And I couldn’t believe I was actually in front of Totoro – seeing it, walking up and around it. I was overwhelmed by its cuteness so much so that I even surprised myself.
マレーシアでも宮崎駿さんのアニメは大人気です。「となりのトトロ」なんて私が子供の頃に見ていたアニメですが、うちの子供達も大好き!何回もビデオで見ました。日本に帰った時に東京の三鷹のジブリ美術館まで行ってきました。平日にも係わらず、すごい人でした。屋上にあるラピュタに住むロボット?の前で写真を撮るのにも長蛇の列でした。(館内では撮影禁止だったので。)

Totoro is a completely a crazy creation – a fat cat mouth with bristling weird whiskers, with rabbit ears, and despite his considerable fat body, he can perch on a branch like a wise old owl !
Totoro or Camphor tree monster.Erika meets and befriends a larger version of the same kind of spirit which identifies as "Totoro" . I later tells her that this is the "keeper of the forest".
I still remember the Tonari no Totoro plot.Totoro takes his colleagues and the girls for a ride on a magical flying top. In the morning, the tree is gone, but the seeds have indeed sprouted !!
From the terrace off the Cat Bus Room, a spiral stairway leads to the roof, and there you will find a grassy rooftop garden. From this lofty post, a serene 5 meter tall Robot Soldier ( from “Laputa Castle in the Sky” ) looks down on Inokashira Park!
