Anime star Totoro and his flying dreams
Print Edition
Good news for Japanese anime fans in Shanghai: Totoro 鈥 the cute and friendly spirit from Miyazaki鈥檚 animation 鈥淢y Neighbor Totoro鈥 (1988) 鈥 and other beloved characters of Studio Ghibli are in the city for a themed exhibition.
Underway at the Shanghai World Financial Center, the show, which runs through October 7, comprises two sectors: the artistic world of Ghibli 鈥 in memory of the 30th anniversary of the release of 鈥淢y Neighbor Totoro鈥 and 鈥淐astle in the Sky鈥 鈥 and Ghibli鈥檚 flying dreams. Nearly 300 original sketches and manuscripts made by the studio鈥檚 masters are showcased.
The highlight is the Catbus, depicted as a grinning, 12-leg cat with a hollow body that serves as a bus in 鈥淢y Neighbor Totoro.鈥
Visitors can ride in this Catbus and relive the scene in the film.
Co-founded by Japanese film director and animator Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli is one of the most acclaimed animation studios in the world and home to some of the most revered and beloved animated works to have ever graced the screen.
During the exhibition, visitors can be a guest at Satsuki and Mei鈥檚 house 鈥 a half-size replica of the building described in the original works 鈥 and view the 8-meter-long airship featured in 鈥淐astle in the Sky.鈥
鈥淚 have strongly felt that people鈥檚 interest in our works in China has grown since the 2000s,鈥 Koji Hoshino, chairman of Studio Ghibli, said at the opening ceremony. 鈥淢any Chinese visitors have been to the Ghibli Museum (in Japan). I hope the exhibition will lead to interest spreading throughout China.鈥
