"totoro" is how a Japanese child says "tororu".

Which in turn is from the Scandinavian word "troll".

Trolls are not warm and fluffy creatures.

I thought "totoro" was just the kid's attempt to match Totoro's random vocalizations.

Miyazaki wanted to do Pippi Longstocking, but he distorts things a lot. Astrid Lindgren's estatate refused to let him corrupt the material.

A lot of what Miyazaki did for Kiki's Delivery Service was stuff he had intended for Pippi Longstocking, but didn't get the rights to.
