| Konekobasu - Kittenbus |
| When
the Ghibli Museum opened in Mitaka, Japan, a beautiful mini theatre was built so visitors
could view the latest short films from the mind of Hayao Miyazaki. One of these is
titled "Mei to Konekobasu" (Mei and the Kittenbus). Mei babysits the child
of the Nekobus from "Tonari no Totoro" and they run off to play in the night.
They follow many other kinds of Bake Neko vehicles (bake neko=cat spirits) and
their Totoro passengers! Where do they end up? At the many feet of Nekobaasan
(Grandmother Catbus) who is a sort of Cat-liner. All the Totoro board her to go on a
vacation! The Kittenbus is without a doubt the most adorable little kitty ever to grace the anime screens! He has six legs, no mice, and only room enough to carry little Mei. He also takes after his papa... (even the kittenbus toys have a gender >^-^<) |
