Totoro Forest Project


The forest on the edge of Tokyo that inspired Miyazake to create MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO is being threatened.  Where does beauty go when we let it disappear? Hmmm.

The good folks at Pixar are sponsoring an auction (you know, like on eBay) of all these great drawings to help save the forest.  Tell your folks.  Tell your friends.
But you don’t have to buy anything.  The best things in life are always free, right?  They have set a website showing work by other artists inspired by this movie.  I could look at this site for hours.  In fact, I have!
Everyone loves this movie, but how great is it to see how it has inspired so many imaginations? Now there’s another project for a rainy day: where’s your Totoro?  Let’s see those drawings.

This site could not have been built without the help and insight of Michael Morgenstern. My thanks go out to him.

Help save indie film and give this guy a job in web design or film!
