Totoro 'The Spirits of the forest will watch'

This was actually the first Studio Ghibli film that I got to watch. I first saw it when I was a grade schooler after checking it out from the library. Even then I noticed that there was something different about this movie than all the other animated films I saw at the time. It was a very magical movie for me. And so I decided to honor it by drawing this piece.

I thought of what would happen in the future. Would Satsuki and Mei still be able to see Totoro and company? I fIgured they wouldn’t and after a bit of research it seems I was correct in thinking so. According to Miyazaki if they had kept in contact for any longer, they would not have been able to return back to the normal world and gotten stuck in the spirit world. And seeing as the spirits are not bad, they make sure to not appear in front of them again.
