REEEEEEALLY needs a sequel!


We really need to see more of Totoro somehow. It's been 26 years now since this came out.

No it doesn't. Miyazaki has far too much self respect to taint the film with a sequel.

No thank you.

There is a sequel. A short film Miyazaki directed called 'Mei & the Kitten bus'.

Though you won't have any luck finding it. It only plays at the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo & is not available online in anything that you could call watchable.

Maybe one day in the future now that Miyazaki is retired they'll release his significant amount of short film work - about 8 shorts all running more than 10 minutes each - on DVD/Blu-ray.

There. It's on the Internet. Thus it's official

I hope someday they do release all his short films. They can package them together like the Pixar shorts. I'd buy it.

Can't stop the signal.

I got a mediocre hall rip of the movie. It's watchable.

If someone's creative enough they could make a good sequel.

But I don't think there's too much demand for a follow up. I guess what someone could do is have Satsuki and/or Mei in the parent's role while their kids do whatever with the spirits. It would be lame though if it ended being like a remake.

NO.
