“I wanted Totoro to be massive. It wouldn’t work if he had a long neck, so we made him pudgy. He’s not a spirit; he’s only an animal. I believe he lives on acorns. He’s supposedly the forest keeper, but that’s only a half-baked idea, a rough approximation. It would be more accurate to consider him a creature that modern Japanese had to make up out of desperation.”

BBC News just literally made my day.
I have no idea why they felt the need to do a feature on bento boxes… slow news day? Not that it should be what with the whole EU thing going on where every MP should be trying to impart their wisdom… “blah blah blah we’ve been shut out” “blah blah blah euro skeptics” “blah blah blah Sarkozy Snub”… I digress.
LOOK! TOTORO ONIGIRI! *squeal*
