Bye-bye.
Want to come over and play?
I might miss the club meeting.
Come whenever you can.
Bye, Mai.
Goodbye.
We'd better walk fast, or we're going to get wet.
O.K.
Oh, no! Hurry!
Oh!
Oh, my god.
Are you O.K?
Yeah.
Come on.
Wow. What do we do now?
If it's not too much trouble, could we stay until it stops raining?
Uh...
Thanks.
Uh...
Ha ha.
Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
We were pretty lucky, huh?
Ha ha! That's funny. It's got holes in it.
Uh-oh. Daddy left his umbrella.
Hey, we could bring it back to him.
I just forgot because I forgot.
How can you forget your umbrella
when it's raining?
Even you can't be that stupid.
You probably broke it in half.
I did not!
Hmm?
Y-y-yii!
[Crash]
Excuse me. Is anybody home?
Satsuki, what are you doing here?
Grandma.
Thank you for taking care of Mai.
Don't be ridiculous. She was a treasure,
We wanted to bring back the umbrella we borrowed.
But - Kanta's umbrella?
Why would he give you this beat-up thing?
We didn't have one, but I'm afraid he got soaking wet.
Anyway, please thank him for us.
I will. I'm always telling him to wash,
so rain did him no harm.
Are you on your way to meet your father?
Yes, ma'am.
Give him my regards.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
Hee hee hee!
[Imitating airplane]
Did someone come to the door?
I didn't hear anything,
Oh, boy, we made it!
Thank you.
Getting onboard or not?
All right, let's go,
Daddy wasn't on that one, right?
I'm sure he'll be on the next one.
Want to go back to Nanny's house and wait?
[Water dripping]
What's the matter?
Mai, you're sleepy.
Uh-uh.
I told you it might be a while.
You don't want to go to Nanny's and wait?
I'm sure the bus will come soon.
Just hang in there.
Well, I guess they were delayed,
but I hope not.
Come on.
[Footsteps]
[Gasp]
Uhhh...
I bet you're Totoro,
[Soft grunt]
[Giggles]
Oh, we have another umbrella if you want.
Go ahead. Take it.
Come on. I'm going to drop Mai.
You put it over your head like that,
[Giggling]
[Splat]
[Splash]
[Rahhr]
Aah!
[Rahhr]
Huh?
The bus is here.
[Mmreowwr]
- Oh! - Oh!
[Rahrr]
Mai, wa-wasn't that umbrella he took with him Daddy's?
Thank you.
How nice of you to meet me.
Daddy!
I'm sorry, but the train was late.
That's why I missed the first bus,
You weren't worried, were you?
I saw him! He was right beside me!
Me, too!
Uh... uh...
Oh, and gigantic arms,
Great big eyeballs, too.
It was scary.
I was scared,
We saw Totoro! We saw Totoro!
We saw Totoro
[Raaar]
[Frogs croaking]
Hey, anyone want a ride?
I do!
O.K., here we go!
Whee!
"Dear Mother, I'm surprised I can write to you at all
"'cause my heart is still beating so fast,
"Mai and I had something incredible happen today.
"We both met Totoro,
"I really saw him.
"He even gave us a gift.
"It was a package wrapped up in bamboo leaves
"and tied with dragon whiskers.
"We opened it immediately.
"Guess what was in it! Magic nuts and seeds. "
- Oh! - Oh!
Ha ha ha.
"We've decided to plant them all out in the front
"because someday they'll be tall and beautiful.
"Mai just...
"sits there every day waiting for them to sprout,
"but they don't seem to want to grow.
"I can't wait to see what they'll be like.
"Mai sends her love and wanted to make sure
"you saw her drawing."
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
"It's going to be summer vacation soon,
"and we'll be out of school.
"I love you, Mother. Please get well soon. "
- Ha ha ha! - Ha ha ha!
Come on, get off.
That's it! I said get off!
Come on, it's bedtime.
Daddy, will the plants come out?
I mean will they come out tomorrow?
That's tough to say.
Perhaps Totoro will be able to say if they will,
Good night.
Wake up, Mai.
But isn't that where we planted -
Mm-hmm.
Oh! Ow!
Ha ha ha ha!
[Soft grunt]
It worked!
[Loud grunt]
Ah...
Ah!
Ah! Ah!
Ooh!
Yay!
Yay! We did it!
Yay!
Hee hee!
[Whirring]
Ah...
Yay!
Ah!
Ya!
[Rahhrr]
- Aah! - Aah!
- Now we know what makes the wind blow!
Hmm.
[Whistling]
Huh?
Ha ha ha.
[Tooting]
[Gasp]
What happened to the tree?
[Gasp]
Hey!
We did it! We did it!
Yay!
It was only a dream.
It wasn't a dream,
It was only a dream.
It wasn't a dream!
It was only a dream!
We did it!
Telegram!
Hello!
Telegram!
Hello! Anyone home?
Hmm.
Maybe not.
Nanny!
Ha ha ha!
Over here, Mai.
That one's perfect.
Ahh...
Hey!
About how ripe is this?
That's ripe.
Wow.
Your vegetable garden is more like a mountain of treasure.
Thanks to Mother Nature.
Let's take a little rest, shall we?
There we are, nice and cold.
Michiko will be jealous,
Mmm.
It's amazing.
They've absorbed lots of wonderful things
from the sun.
That's what makes them so good for the body and the soul.
Would they help my mother?
Of course they would,
My vegetable garden is bound to make anyone feel better.
Our mother's coming home this week from the hospital.
She'll sleep with me under my cover.
That's wonderful.
She's able to come back, is she?
She's coming home to spend a couple of days
but has to go right back there.
I suppose she has to be careful.
Yes, she has.
We'll fatten her up on my fresh vegetables,
I'm giving Mommy this corn
I picked for her specially.
I'm sure she'll love you for it.
Mm-hmm.
Mailman gave me this telegram
because you were out. Here.
But Daddy won't be home from the university till after 9:OO.
Open it now then.
A telegram is serious business.
Mm-hmm.
It's from my mother's doctor at the hospital.
"Please contact me."
What's that supposed to mean?
Is something wrong or not?
I know something awful's happened to her.
What am I supposed to do if my father's not home?
Have you any way of telephoning your father?
I have the number of his research lab,
but we don't have a telephone.
Take them to your mother's place.
Let them use the phone. Do you understand?
Don't panic, but go quickly.
Mai, you make sure you stay put at my house!
Mai!
Hey, Mai, don't follow me!
Go to Nanny's house.
Oh.
Hello, Operator.
I'd like to make a long-distance call, please.
It's very important.
It's number 1354 at Station 12.
Yes.
Thank you very much.
Your friend is very pretty.
What lovely hair.
[Ring]
Hello.
Yes.
Can you put me through to the main lecture room
of the Anthropology School?
To Professor Kusakabe. Please hurry.
Yes, yes. I'm his daughter.
It was from the hospital, Daddy. I'm so worried.
Whoa, whoa. Slow down.
From the hospital? Oh, O.K. It's all right.
I think I understand,
Now, I'm going to call the hospital.
What's happened to Mommy?
There's no need to worry.
I'll check with the hospital and call you right back, O,K?
Uh-huh.
Stay where you are.
I'm hanging up, so you stay right there.
He'll be calling back. So is it all right
if I stay here by the telephone and wait?
You take all the time you need.
Hey, where are you?
Uh-oh,
[Baa]
Oh, no!
I'm giving this to my Mommy!
[Baa]
Go away!
You just better stop it right now!
[Baa]
Mai, the hospital said that Mommy's condition isn't very good,
so she won't be coming home just yet.
But why?
Mai, what can we do?
If she came home now, it'd make it worse.
It would not!
But she'll be able to come home real soon.
No!
All right then! Be that way! Let's see if she dies!
No!
Don't be dumb, Mai!
Oh, I give up!
You're so stupid!
Come on, Mai.
Waah!
I'm not stupid!
Waah!
I took care of the rest of the washing.
Come on, now.
It isn't the end of the world.
Your old Nanny's here to help.
Let's see that beautiful smile.
Your father's stopping off at the hospital
on his way home, eh?
What I heard was that your mother
only caught a small cold.
She'll be home next weekend, I believe.
That's what they said last time, too.
"It'll be a little visit,
"just a few days to see what's wrong with her.
"It's just a cold,"
What are me and Mai going to do if Mommy dies?
Uh, uh...
What are we going to do, Nanny?
There, there.
Don't worry.
Your mother's not going to die,
Hush.
She'd never leave two such beautiful children.
She loves you too much for that.
Don't cry,
Nanny will stay with you until your father comes home.
Mai!
Where are you?
Mai!
[Cicada chirping]
Mai, come back!
Did you see her anywhere?
No sign at all.
She wasn't at the bus stop?
That's very strange.
Where could she possibly have gone?
Maybe she's angry about this morning.
We had a bad argument and -
maybe she went to visit Mommy in the hospital!
The hospital's so far from here.
It's - oh, my heavens!
It would take a grown man
three hours to get there.
Hey!
Oh, my goodness.
Please, you must get your father right now.
Tell him little Mai has disappeared,
[Panting]
How could you do something so stupid, Mai?
You always get lost.
Mai!
I'm sorry to bother you,
but you haven't seen a little girl, have you?
She's my sister, about 5 years old.
Well, seems to me I remember someone.
Yes, near as I can recall, she went that way.
Maybe she went through the forest.
Then again, she might've gone in the other direction.
Are you sure it was your sister?
All sorts of folks come by here, but I don't see them.
Mai, I'm scared.
Thank you!
Mai!
Please stop!
Aah!
Hey, are you crazy, kid?
I'm looking for my sister.
Have you seen a little girl wandering around?
I'm afraid not.
Mai's her name, and she's 5 years old.
She probably got lost.
We haven't seen anyone, have we?
I think she's going to Shichikoku Yama,
We just came from there,
but we haven't come across anybody.
Well, thank you.
By the way, where are you from?
Matsugo.
You walked from there to here?
That's three hours away.
Well, good luck, kid.
I hope you find her!
Satsuki, wait!
Come here!
Kanta!
We haven't found her yet. How about you?
Nothing.
My dad's got everyone searching for her,
so you go home,
and I'll bike to Shichikoku Yama, O.K?
I'm afraid if she visits Mommy's hospital,
she'll completely lose her -
Somebody found some sandals by the lake.
There's no way she could get past all those people
without somebody noticing.
Oh!
Hey, don't worry! Nobody said they were Mai's sandals!
Did you find her yet?
[Praying]
Go back a bit over towards your right!
Hey, you have any poles left?
There's Satsuki.
Eh?
Look.
Mai!
Look, Satsuki.
Is it hers?
It's not hers.
What?
Ohh...,
Merciful heavens.
You know, Satsuki,
for a while I thought it might be Mai's.
Mom, I told you you jumped to conclusions.
Forget it! It isn't hers!
So, what do we do now?
We keep on looking, that's what.
Whatever you do, you better hurry up.
It'll be dark soon.
I am grateful to you all,
If you could keep searching -
Don't worry. We understand.
Don't you think we should call the police?
Well, I don't know.
Do you think the police could -
Where are you going?
Totoro,
I beg you, please protect Mai.
She'll be lost and probably scared.
I'll be good for the rest of my life
If I can just see her again.
Oh!
Aah!
What?
Totoro!
Totoro, Mai's lost somewhere,
I looked and looked, but I can't find her anywhere!
Oh, please.
You have to help me find her.
She's probably alone somewhere crying and upset.
Oh, Totoro, I'm scared.
[Soft grunt]
[Rahhr]
What?
[Mmreowr]
He wouldn't be able to.
But how come nobody sees the bus?
Oh...
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh!
Next stop,
Little Sister.
[Mmreowr]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Mai, where are you?
But how does he make it do that?
[Barking]
Ohh...,
Mai!
But, Sis, where are you?
Satsuki!
Mai!
There you are!
Satsuki!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, Mai.
I'm sorry.
Tell me one thing.
Were you bringing that corn to the hospital?
Mm-hmm.
[Mmreowr]
[Gasp]
Next stop,
Shichikoku Yama Hospital.
You mean we can go to Mom's hospital?
[Meow]
You're wonderful!
I'm sorry.
It was all because of my silly cold that the hospital sent that telegram.
The grief it must've caused all of you.
I hope you can forgive me.
It was simply a bureaucratic mistake.
I'm sure it wasn't terribly traumatic for either of the girls.
It just means you'll be home next weekend.
They understand.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they suffered more than we know,
in particular Satsuki because she's so smart and sensitive.
Hmm, could be right.
You'd better be careful after I get home
because I intend to spoil them rotten.
Oh, no!
Look. Mommy's laughing.
She seems pretty healthy to me.
Yep.
Oh, I can't wait to get up on my feet again,
Neither can we.
Oh.
Hmm.
Now, that's weird.
Oh!
What happened?
Well, I'm not sure, but I could've sworn
I saw both girls in the treetop laughing.
That might not be as crazy as you think.
"For Mother...,"
Totoro
Who leaves the seeds
For you to find?
Follow them
And you will see
A treasure there
Then plant the seeds
And help them grow
It may seem like a dream
But things are not what they seem
Now begins a new adventure
For you
And you'll be with Totoro
Totoro
Living in the forest trees
For such a very, very long time
There you'll be with Totoro
Totoro
You only see him
When you're very young
A magical adventure for you
It's magic for you
Rain tumbles down
The bus is late
Suddenly
A furry wet giant
Is by your side
Don't be afraid
Just open wide
Your umbrella for him
Watch him play in the rain
Now begins a new adventure
For you
And you'll be with Totoro
Totoro
And on a moonlit night
He plays a magic flute in the sky
There you'll be with Totoro
Totoro
You only see him
When you're very young
A magical adventure for you
It's magic for you
THE END
