Two characters take their form out of stereotypes to narrate an unimportant story based on the dynamics, timing and clichés of Animé. Short video loops often used as a background to credits, brief clips used as separators before and after commercials, the insert of highly synthesized gestures from graphic comics (Mangá) are the elements that inspired ‘Totoro’.
