''Mei and the Kittenbus'' is a 2002 13-minute short film directed by Creator/HayaoMiyazaki and a pseudo-sequel to his 1988 film, ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro''. It is the first direct sequel to a Creator/StudioGhibli film.
As the title indicates, the short film stars 4-year-old Mei Kusakabe as she comes across a tiny version of the Catbus called a Kittenbus on a very windy day after it winds up flying into her house. Later in the night, the Kittenbus takes Mei on a short little adventure where she not only has another encounter with Totoro, but discovers a whole world of other Totoros and Catbuses.
The film is one of twelve short films made exclusively for the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan, and to this day, visiting the museum remains the only possible way to watch the film, as it has never been released outside of the museum in any form.
!!The short film features the following tropes:
* AnimalVehicleHybrid: Beyond the returning Catbus and the titular Kittenbus, the film reveals that there is a whole world of Catbuses, including a super long cat bus and a giant elderly catbus in the shape of an airliner.
* ADayInTheLimelight: As the title indicates, the film is primarily focused on Mei and the newly introduced Kittenbus, alongside the Catbus himself.
* DemotedToExtra: Satsuki, the other main protagonist of ''My Neighbor Totoro'', only makes a brief non-speaking cameo in this film, as she is shown to be sleeping at night before Mei hops on the Kittenbus.
* ImmediateSequel: The film takes place only two months after the events of ''My Neighbor Totoro''.
* MiniMe: The Kittenbus is a tiny kid-sized version of the Catbus, with only enough room for one small child.
* NameAndName: The short is titled ''Mei and the Kittenbus''.
* {{Retraux}}: Given that it is a direct sequel to ''My Neighbor Totoro'', the film is deliberately animated and styled exactly like the 1988 film. It helps that the short film is directed by Creator/HayaoMiyazaki.
