MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO NOVEL (My Neighbor Totoro: The Novel)

Product Information

The companion book to the beloved animation classic My Neighbor Totoro, by legendary Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyaza. Recommended for readers who love the works of Studio Ghibli, those who like reading Japanese manga and illustrated books, those who are looking for a delightful and pleasurable read, those who loved the film, those who are into fantasy and young adult fiction, and those who love reading about warm family relationships. Besides, when one gets his momentum going, these disparities are often forgotten, or at least set aside. It baffles me that no matter what, the stories Hayao Miyazaki makes always enable you to emerge yourself in a new world.

Mei falls asleep on Satsuki's back and Totoro appears beside them, allowing Satsuki to see him for the first time. It is also rich with human comedy in the way it observes the two remarkably convincing, lifelike little girls . Our Non-Fiction Range includes: Academic, Photography, Audio books, Business, Cook Books, Craft Books, Health and Fitness Books, Mind, Body, Spirit (Tarot).In Japan, My Neighbor Totoro initially sold 801,680 tickets and earned a distribution rental income of ¥588 million in 1988. Fathers, being the foundations of the household, are more focused on earning a living to provide for his family. Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services. However, it felt like the magic was toned down a bit but it suited the story because it made the relationship of sisters Satsuki and Mei the true highlight of the narrative. It's the story of Two girls who (with their father) move house and meet a forest spirit and his friends who help them in their time of need.

When Mei goes missing, it's up to Satsuki to find her sister, and she'll need help from some new, and magical, friends.The benevolent Totoro helps the girls as they adjust to living apart from extended family and navigate being single-parented by their well-intentioned, workaholic father. My Neighbor Totoro follows Satsuki and her little sister Mei as they move into an old, dilapidated house in the middle of the countryside so that they can be near the hospital where there mother is sick with TB. When I first watched it, I was blown away by the simplicity of the story and yet how wonderfully emotive it was.

In most cases when a book become movie a lot of stuff is cut, and I understand why because else the movies would probably be too long (in many cases that wouldn't bother me at all but that's besides the point). The dual billing was considered "one of the most moving and remarkable double bills ever offered to a cinema audience". In 2023, the film was re-released in 970 United States locations as part of celebrations to mark the 35th anniversary of its first theatrical release, [36] with showings in both Japanese with English subtitles and with the English dub. But anyone with an awareness of the labor-intensive animation process knows that such masterpieces as Tonari no Totoro.

It was adapted by British playwright Tom Morton-Smith and directed by Improbable's Phelim McDermott. But when it all comes down to it the book was still kinda good, and it is still Totoro, so I can't help but like it. 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". For example, ripples were designed with "two colors of high-lighting and shading" and the rain for My Neighbor Totoro was "scratched in the cels" and superimposed for it to convey a soft feel.

I have this an extra star because of the actual book itself, a lovely hardback, great illustrations, and compact.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. 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. Don't get me wrong, there is that magical feel of adventure with Totoro and company but the struggles of country living, mixed with school, medical fees and work commutes plays out more strongly here. It is a little sad, a little scary, a little surprising and a little informative, just like life itself.
