Character Description: Catbus
The Catbus is a highly remember character from the My Neighbor Totoro anime. With his huge grin, big yellow eyes, and fast speed, the Catbus acts as transportation vehicle for the Totoros, taking them from point-A to point-B at lighting speed. The Catbus moves at the speed of light which makes it completely invisible to everyday folk, but it can be seen by children... so perhaps it actually moves at the speed of imagination....
The Catbus appears two times in the Totoro movie. The first time is on a rainy day at a bus stop where O-Totoro is waiting for him with Satsuki and Mei, who are waiting for their dad. The second time the Catbus appears is when O-Totoro summons him to take Satsuki to Mei and he takes both of them to the hospital where their mom is staying.
