Saving Totoro's Birthplace (a.k.a How Pixar Just Got A Whole Lot More Awesome)
« on: July 15, 2008, 10:24:39 am »
So, it looks like Pixar Studios is hosting an auction to raise funds to save the forest that is the inspiration for Miyazaki's Totoro. Artists from all over the world are donating art and raising funds to protect the landmark forest. I think it's nifty. Check out the full article here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-13/global-artists-raise-funds-for-totoro-birthplace

Pretty much like everyone else said, Pixar has really done something notable.  :D

This could very well have a lot to do with John Lasseter, who is a major head in Pixar and Studio Ghibli, I think. I know he has done several DVD introductions for US releases of Ghibli films, so he could very well be the driving factor connecting Ghibli and Pixar. That's pretty cool.
