25. Catbus

Anime: My Neighbor Totoro

Catbus is the large bus-cat-shaped-creature from My Neighbor Totoro, funnily enough.

It’s one of the most iconic characters across the Ghibli-verse, being featured in his own spinoff OVA and exhibited in the Ghibli museum.

It screams imagination, with its large cat-eyes serving as headlights and a hollow body filled with seats.

It runs and bounces across the luscious scenery, and knows where you want to go before you do. It’s very similar to the Cheshire Cat, and has become similarly revered over time.
