Catbus

The character's popularity has led to a spinoff short film,[1] toys for children, an art car, and an exhibit in the Ghibli Museum.

The Catbus, a character in My Neighbor Totoro, is depicted as a fantastical combination of feline and bus attributes.

The body of the Catbus is designed to resemble a bus, with a framework that includes a hollow interior lined with fur-covered seats and a shape-shifting door for passenger boarding.

The fur of the Catbus is orange with brown stripes adorning its back, forehead, legs, sides, and tail.

Within the context of My Neighbor Totoro, the Catbus possesses the ability to appear and disappear at will, and can travel to any destination desired by its passengers.
