* While not wearing your shoes in the house is extremely important in Japanese culture, Satsuki takes it to a new level - when she sees a shining acorn on the floor in their new house, instead of taking off her shoes, she ''walks on her knees'' to get to it.
* When Granny says that the soot sprites are probably holding a meeting to decide whether they want to reveal themselves, the scene cuts away to the soot sprites having a meeting in the attic!
* Kanta teasing the girls.
--> '''Kanta:''' Hey, you in there, your house is haunted!
--> '''Granny:''' ''[[SayMyName KANTA!]]''
--> '''Kanta:''' ''(ScrewThisImOuttaHere)''
* Most scenes with Kanta and Satsuki. The terrified look he has on his face nearly every time he sees her is priceless, and the way he smiles and skips after he gives her his umbrella is adorable.
** He continues to be awkward in the scenes depicting him during the credits.
* Pretty much any face Totoro makes is hilarious.
* Totoro's bewildered amusement of rain drops landing on his umbrella.
** He stomps the ground making a heavy rain fall upon him and the Kusakabe-sisters, and smiling cheerfully the entire time.
** He continues to smile as he boards the catbus and even as it goes running off into the distance, still hoisting the umbrella aloft. The next time he appears, he's still carrying the umbrella and the two smaller Totoro have taken leaves, holding them overhead like the king's.
** The catbus has a ''very'' strained expression as Totoro climbs into it.
*** Mei and Satsuki's stunned expressions after the catbus leaves.
** And in ''Mei and the Kittenbus'', he's still carrying the umbrella despite there being no sign of rain.
* Mei's first interaction with Totoro. Rather than be frightened of this giant furry beast, she opts for curiously inspecting his tail by playing with it, then petting it. Then she laughs with delight, hugs his tail, then eventually ends up on his belly after he rolls over. When he roars at her, she isn't frightened, either--she roars back in the cutest way, then bursts into laughter. It's simply adorable.
* A shot of the family sleeping. Satsuki and her dad are tucked up, but Mei is half out of her futon, flat on her back and blanket tossed aside.
* Satsuki and Mei's antics while running about the new house and yard are continuously funny. Especially when they start yelling to bring out the soot sprites. Satsuki swings herself round a rotting post and nearly pulls it down.
* In the Streamline dub, when Satsuki is on the phone trying to get through to her dad, the woman there simply says to Kanta that his "friend is very pretty. What lovely hair."
