So, the Totoros over there are creatures that have lived in Japan longer than humans have. They live peacefully in the forest, eating acorns and other nuts. Humans usually cannot see them. Totoros sleep during the day and play their ocarinas on moonlit nights.
O Totoro is about 1300 years old, and almost 7 feet tall! Chu Totoro is about 600 years old, and Chibi Totoro is about 100 years old.
The Catbus gives rides to the Totoros, and a few select humans. Yes. You're very lucky. Most humans can't see the Catbus, but they do feel a gust of wind as it passes by. The Catbus has 7 legs, and the ability to fly.
And, of course, the Susuwatari are mischievous balls of dust/soot.
But like I said, we won't see them here at Shichikokuyama-gyo.
So, that's all of the info I have proved by Hayao Miyazaki. I don't want to be spreading rumours, now do I...
Which is what I'll talk to you about shortly... but now, it's time for a small snack...
