Did you guys know that My Neighbor Totoro is actually based on a murder of a little girl that occurred in the 1960’s? I did research for my film studies class. The whole movie is actually kinda fucked up.

i will say that knowing this makes me love the studio and miyazaki even more, if possible. most of their stories can be related to something about miyazaki’s past and sometimes you will find things like this. The movie is beautiful and is even more beautiful because of this. i may be strange for saying that but i am being honest, it just shows more on how miyazaki’s films have more to them and it fully intrigues me
