About this deal

Catbus has been referenced by Anthrocon staff when mentioning its hotel shuttle service from remote hotels in Pittsburgh. [12] Commenters have suggested that in this instance, "CATbus" would be for "Circulating Anthropomorphic Transit bus". In the Cars short Tokyo Mater (2008), a car resembling the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro (1988) appears towards the end when Mater is celebrating his victory". 20 May 2020. Samuel Conway. "Anthrocon announces downtown hotel shuttle service!". Archived from the original on 2015-05-18 . Retrieved 2015-03-08. Catbus was featured in the short 13-minute film Mei and the Kittenbus, which is shown only in the Ghibli Museum. In the film, Mei, the younger sister from the original film, meets the offspring of the Catbus, named Kittenbus. It is just large enough for Mei to fit inside, and can stir up dust devils. They fly into the forest with many other cat-based vehicles, including different types of buses and Cattrains, which carry O-Totoro and other forest spirits to a Catliner, which is depicted as an ancient cat. Mei meets O-Totoro and befriends the Catliner, before returning in the Kittenbus to her home.

Catbus ( ネコバス, Nekobasu) (referred to in the film as ねこのバス, Neko no basu) is a fictional supporting character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur. The character's popularity has led to a spinoff short film, [1] toys for children, an art car, and an exhibit in the Ghibli Museum. Catbus is believed to be based on the Japanese bakeneko (化け猫, “changed cat”), an ancient urban legend where cats that grow old learn to shapeshift. In the original Japanese version of My Neighbor Totoro, Catbus is voiced by Naoki Tatsuta, whilst in the Disney English release, Catbus is voiced by Frank Welker, and by voice actor Carl Macek in the Streamline Pictures release. Catbus was used as a design base for the six-legged sky bison Appa on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

[11] In the video game Persona 5, Morgana can turn himself into a bus. He explains that the reason he can do this in the Metaverse is that the Japanese public has familiarity with cats transforming into buses "for some reason", referencing Catbus.
