    Is this Sophie going to be the same girl that appears in his other movies? (Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, etc.)

    What was the moral in Totoro?

    I believe it was "two little girls and a grown man naked in the same tub is not creepy"...

    Or, if you want to be serious, for a change ;-)
    The moral was that the japanese country side is a wonderfull place and that there is still room for spirituality and a child's innocence in this world.

    Also: Work hard. They sure had to, to clean up that old house. Didn't they?
