That's not a cat. It's a Totoro. It's from the Hayao Miyazaki film "My Neighbor Totoro". HopeHoops Oct 2012 #2

English or Japanese cast? sakabatou Oct 2012 #9
English. I'm a little confused. The DVDs say Kirsten Dunst did the voice of Satsuki AND Kiki, BUT... HopeHoops Oct 2012 #11
IMDB says Dunst did only Kiki sakabatou Oct 2012 #12
I went looking for the DVD (couldn't find it) but I'm SURE it said she did the voice. HopeHoops Oct 2012 #15

My friends had some inside jokes about it. We kept on laughing.

The characters of Satsuki and her father were the same animated characters AND voices from Totoro in "Kiki's Delivery Service" - but in different roles. That's unusual. The Grandmother figure from "Totoro" also played the same sort of character in "Howel's Moving Castle".

Wikipedia has a different name listed for Satsuki. Go figure.

At any rate, they reused the same characters (animated) in multiple movies. The little girl (younger sister) from Totoro was the main character in "Panda Go Panda". The old woman from "Totoro" was the old woman in "Howel's Moving Castle" The dad in Totoro was the dad in Kiki. Actually, I think the same animated girl was in "Spirited Away". That's a rather unusual thing to do, but we're also talking about an animation grand master. He transcends Disney.

Meanwhile, I AM a cat bed as I type this. Her Royal Highness has settled on my lap for her mid-evening beauty rest. She will probably move over to the other end of the sofa later on for her late-evening beauty rest.
