+ Info

This is an original B2 Japanese poster, printed in 1990, for the re-release of “My Neighbor Totoro” (となりのトトロ).

“My Neighbor Totoro” is one of Miyazaki’s best-loved films. Totoro is a forest spirit that little Mei, and later her older sister Satsuki, encounter in a giant camphor tree near their new home in the countryside. Although their father, a university professor, is with them when they move, their mother is in the hospital, recovering from some unnamed illness. When Mei hears that her mother’s condition may be worsening, she resolves to visit her all by herself. When everyone realizes she’s missing, only Totoro knows how to find her!

The film was originally distributed by Toho in 1988. However, this poster was later produced when the film was released under Daiei distribution, in 1990. Notice that, at the bottom center, it lists all of the film awards “My Neighbor Totoro” had won at the time. Posters for films which were re-released are referred to as reissue or re-release posters. These reissue posters are real movie posters in every sense, but they were specifically made for the re-release.
