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

Totoro no Tonari (), known as "My Neighbour, Totoro" in the English speaking world, is the product of Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki is one of the best animators and storytellers in Japa; every good Japanese has seen Totoro. I admit to loving the movie; you are welcome to view my copy at any time.

Other more recent films that he has created include "Spirited Away", "Kiki's Delivery Service", and "Princess Mononoke."

Go and watch!

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".
