Totoro In Toy Story 3

Ranked #7,000 in Entertainment, #78,128 overall

Totoro Has Been Pixarized!

Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli fans are squealing with delight after seeing a plush version of their forest friend Totoro in the Toy Story 3 movie! Yep, you heard it right, the faithful forest protector has been Pixarized! Totoro made in his cameo in the latest Disney Pixar movie, where you can expect to see at least a few seconds of footage on the big screen alongside Woody and Buzz in theaters.

For those who have not been properly introduced to Totoro, he is an enormous rabbit looking creature that lives in the woods among other spirits in the 1988 Japanese anime film, My Neighbor Totoro, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film follows the adventures of Satsuki and her younger sister Mei as they move into their new home and discover some very mysterious, but friendly creatures that can only be seen by children.

Totoro is one of the most beloved characters in Miyazaki's films and the timing couldn't be better because Studio Ghibli and Disney released the English-language version of My Neighbor Totoro on DVD in the United States on March 2, 2010. Dakota and Elle Fanning star in the Disney version as sisters, Satsuki and Mei.

Nekobus says:

I personally would have been outraged if Totoro had spoken, since he does not speak in his own feaure.
It made my day seeing him in Toy Story 3 though, especially juggling those aliens!
Good publicity too I suppose, since Disney distribute the English dubbed Studio Ghibli films..

I didn't see Totoro the first time I saw Toy Story 3's trailer so thanks for pointing it out! I watched the trailer you posted and squealed with delight when I spotted him beside the computer monitor. So cute! I can't wait to see the movie. Fun lens, lensrolled to my ghibli Museum lens and *blessed*
