Studio Ghibli producer kills theory of death subtext in My Neighbor Totoro soranews24.com

There’s a persistent rumor, one which we’ve talked about ourselves, that claims there’s a dark side to feel-good anime classic My Neighbor Totoro.
During their talk, Takimoto asked Suzuki if there were any scary stories related to My Neighbor Totoro, and the producer immediately knew what she was getting at.
Actually, an explanation for this was already given on the official Studio Ghibli website, and more than eight years ago.
We hope we’re not spoiling anyone’s fantasy by saying this, but My Neighbor Totoro isn’t real.
