토나리노 토토로 토토로~ | @kkotseo
Fairy lights on the wall shine their brightest in the dark bedroom, the dim light from the television accompanying it to create a tiny light show for the pair of girls. Eunjin’s dark blue silk pajamas reflect the lights as if it would protect her, though a little light never hurt anyone. Teddiursa, Eunjin’s 3-year-old toy poodle, wore similar style pajamas, a cute combination with her owner’s. The toy poodle was fast asleep on Eunjin’s comfy bed, wrapped into a blanket burrito. It was merely 20:00, but for Teddiursa, it was time for her beauty sleep.
My Neighbor Totoro was starting. Eunjin’s television displays the opening, characters such as little Mei, Chu Totoro, and Chibi Totoro marching on the screen to the opening song. Reading subtitles was no biggie for Eunjin, and she hoped it wasn’t much of a problem to Seoah. The Korean dub was adorable, but watching the movie with Korean subtitles was better for her. Eunjin’s plump lips form a tiny ‘o’ as she whistles an entirely different rhythm than the one on tv. “토나리노 토토로 토토로~!” Wrong song, but it still applied to the film.
