I was talking to a friend about My Neighbour Totoro today and I forgot what a wonderful film it is.

I actually saw it for the first time a couple of months ago, after I went to Japan, although I’ve seen and loved quite a few Studio Ghibli films. Of course, since it’s Japanese and because Hayao Miyazaki is the Japanese equivalent of Walt Disney, there was no shortage of merchandise shops:

There was even a museum, which was so wonderful to visit!

After all that, I did come away with one souvenir…

It’s Totoro, of course!
