15 Things Only Studio Ghibli Fans Will Understand

11. You Really, REALLY Want A Squirrel Fox.

There is absolutely no doubt that Ghibli provides a range of characters that you want to collect as stuffed animals. From the Soot Sprites to the Tree Spirits, nearly every creature is as huggable and loveable as the last. However, there is one you would give all of your stuffed Totoros to own in real life. That creature is Teto the squirrel fox, Nausicaa€™s furry, snappy companion from the Valley of the Wind, whose kind make a brief appearance scurrying all over robots in Castle in the Sky. Their bushy tales, scruffy collars and enormous, bug-like green eyes make them the perfect pet for sitting comfortably on your shoulder while you whizz around on your adventures. You would only need to let it bite you for a few seconds before you completely gained its trust and had a fuzzy friend for life, that beats a boring old cat any day... unless it can turn into a bus.
