I'm not quite sure what the references are outside of the Totoro allusion.

psst...just correcting to be polite:

Tonari no totoro. (totoro no tonari would be "next-door to Totoro", as opposed to "my neighbor totoro".)

Doh! Thanks - I've always had problems remember which goes first.

ex. Boubabe no Canada or Canada no Boubabe

My Japanese knowledge is fairly basic and this is one grammar rule that I've failed to memorize.

'no' is equivalent to " 's ", more or less. So "Boubabe no Canada" is "Boubabe's Canada", and "Canada no Boubabe" is "Canada's Boubabe".
