I think someone is really obsessed with Miyasaki and "My Neighbor Totoro"! ;D

But, boy oh boy, does it sound cool . . .

They probably changed the link since it's not "breaking news" anymore. ;D

Does this work?

There we go. Haha...that's awesome! You know Pixar people are something else when one of them wants to live in a tree. That elevator leading to a subterranean garage just sounds crazy...in a cool way.

[Callandor]

I want to live in a tree!

[vanessajoyce]

I want to live in a tree!

So would I -- if it was like Docter's dream house!

[smkndofpnutdssrt]

They could be like the Berenstein Bears!

[vanessajoyce]

Or like Totoro!

[Callandor]

I was...4 years old when that movie came out. And I didn't hear about it until MUCH later, when I started to become interested in anime. And I STILL haven't seen the movie, despite having seen Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

And I STILL haven't seen the movie,

Wow, you really should see it just for the historical aspect of it. It sort of set the tone for the whole Ghibli universe -- sort of like "Toy Story" did for Pixar. Of course, it's a really good story too.

Sounds like a great source of inspiration for Pete Docter. I think that's amazing.

Ooo, Totoro! ;D
