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".

Beautiful book. Well written. Gorgeous story. Lovely illustrations. And, despite not normally being a quotey kind of person, I fell in love with this quote:

Denison, Rayna (October 22, 2015). Anime: A Critical Introduction. Bloomsbury Publishing. ISBN 978-1-4725-7676-7. BFI Statistical Yearbook 2020.

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.
