But anyone with an awareness of the labor-intensive animation process knows that such masterpieces as Tonari no Totoro...". International Herald Tribune-Asahi Shimbun. August 24, 2007. Right from the start I noticed small changes in the story and was surprised but still okay with it. Soon however the changes grew bigger and they started to bother me more and more. The feelings I get from watching Totoro is happiness and a general calm. The book didn't give me those feelings. The biggest reason for that I think is the change in the main character, Satsuki, and her father, Tatsuo. Book-Satsuki is too grown up and book-Tatsuo to focused on his job, and not enough on his daughters. Totoro takes us into a magical world where he invites the reader to remember what it was like to be a child again with all it's wonder and imagination. It also shows us that in times of need, the person who you can turn to is not quite so far away.

After working on 3000 Miles in Search of a Mother, Miyazaki wanted to make a "delightful, wonderful film" that would be set in Japan with the idea to "entertain and touch its viewers, but stay with them long after they have left the theaters". [6] Initially, Miyazaki had the main characters Totoro, Mei, Tatsuo, and Kanta. [6] :8 The director based Mei on his niece, [8] and Totoros as "serene, carefree creatures" that were "supposedly the forest keeper, but that's only a half-baked idea, a rough approximation".

In most cases when a book become movie a lot of stuff is cut, and I understand why because else the movies would probably be too long (in many cases that wouldn't bother me at all but that's besides the point). Therefor I thought this book would be great because for once there would be no nead to cut or change, you can just take a wonderful movie and turn it into a book. If you’ve never seen the movie. Satsuki and Mei are sisters that move out of the city (Tokyo) to the country, in a small town. Their new house is run down and “haunted”, according to the kids in the neighborhood.

The book also includes some original scenes not in the film, fleshing out the main characters. When Mei intrudes on Satsuki's class at her new school, it reveals the self-consciousness of being the new kid in town (especially when Satsuki so often puts up a confident front). Satsuki and Mei's visit with their relatives in Tokyo is another eye-opener, showing how the city girls who moved to the country no longer fit into their old lifestyle. Some might see these as pointless slice-of-life fillers that take away from the fantasy aspect—but what they really do is make the story more well-rounded, so that it's not just about trying to find giant mysterious creatures in the woods.

When I first saw this book I was very OHMYGOD-JUMP-UP-AND-DOWN-TOTOROOOO. I still felt that way when I started reading, both because I love the My Neighbour Totoro movie, but also because the book itself is really beautiful and kinda magical with pictures in it and on the cover. So I was really looking forward to reading it but it soon became clear that the book is not really like the movie.
