Hi everyone, I'm not sure if anybody ever asked this question. There were a couple of scenes in the movie where they say "Hiya". One when they were in the rafters (I always wondered what that thing was with a paper fan... I always thought it was a lamp, lol) and other scene when they leave the house up to totoro's tree.

I do want to add that I grew up with the Japanese version of My Neighbor Totoro. My late father was good friends with a film collector in Philadelphia, P.A. who had ties with Hanna-Barbera and he also had a Japanese wife who worked with Studio Ghibli and worked in the production of My Neighbor Totoro. They kindly gave my family a VHS tape with the movie the same year it was in Theaters in Japan in 1988. (I also remembered it was recorded 2 parts of film to VHS tape)There was no substitutes so my siblings and I watched it and understood it by body language... we were around 2 when I first saw it. we absolutely loved it ever though we didn't know Japanese. Sadly the VHS tape was ruined in 2007 when our storage shed leaked from a Nor'easter that year, but I'm happy to see that I can watch it through streaming online.

I still always wondered what the dustbunnies are saying on those scenes, unless it was gibberish in Japanese... lol! Even in the English versions, they were never dubbed.

So anybody ever wondered about that?

What you think?
