We’re all going to visit my neighbor Totoro, so everybody climb aboard the Catbus and we’ll be on our way. Your driver today is Maru, so you might want to buckle up. Our route will take us up and down the stairs and into the backyard. Please have exact fare.
Do either of you have change for a can of tuna, Lucy’s Mom and Andrew Y.?
Cutest form of transportation >:3
So much cuter than the subway!
For sure! >:3
Maru in a box and on a box is so meta!
I’d risk motion sickness to take that ride. Mugomogu’s house looks so lovely. And those sweet silly kitties don’t mess it up. Imagine.
Deb, did you get my note yesterday? The animals print of the goat’s pajamas is called Garanimals.
Oh, you weren’t kidding about that! I remember Garanimals from childhood.
Thanks so much, Duckie. Hugs to you.
Cinema – the subtitles should have been in French.
I love the specs of this bus. Is this the next revolution in green transportation?
That bus makes lots of fun stops. The box ‘charging station’ was my favorite.
Me too.
Catbus from Totoro!?
He’s so weird!! And I just love how Hana seems to take all his antics in stride (as if she had a choice). 🙂
We don’t want to cause no fuss, just want to ride that Maru bus!
The Who
Wow! Can’t believe he not only got into the bus box in the first place, but is content trundling around with it on! There is always more with Maru.
If I didn’t know Maru, I’d wonder if he was driving under the influence of catnip. He’s such a goof!
Speaking of what we have and haven’t seen in the house, have we seen the stairs before?
We have! >:3
Thanks. Now that I see this again, I do remember it. Looks like she changed the carpet on the stairs in the older video for white pads of some sort in the new one (or as I seeing it wrong, is it the same carpet and it’s a difference in level of exposure)? In the all-stair video, at first it looked like Hana clearly preferred the bare wood and Maru clearly preferred carpet, but at things went on, I decided maybe it was random chance.
Remember that video of Maru and Hana on a ladder, going up to a ledge by a window? Hana just charged up and down, while Maru carefully navigated each step. I think that might have been filmed upstairs.
I’m fascinated by Maru’s house. It looks like a Swiss chalet magically transported to Japan!
