minus-squareivanafterall ☑️@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down4·5 days agoI think a lot of wholesome movies would become horrifying if you gave the characters massive, hairy dongs really flopping about in every scene. I’m thinking the likes of: Paddington My Neighbor Totoro Monsters Inc ET The Wizard of Oz Really most movies, the more I think of it.

minus-squaresteeznson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 days agoArguably there is quite a lot of horror at the centre of My Neighbour Totoro (also Spirited Away but you didn’t mention that one). The floating red shoes are a reference to a real life event in Japan that was in the news at the time where a girl had drowned. Additionally, you could view the events of the film as taking place in the protagonist’s mind as a coping mechanism for extreme grief. Edit: Missed a few things. Apparently the destination on the cat bus says “grave” on it and there is a fan theory that Totoro is a shinigami.
