What is it?
 
The catbus is a character in the anime film “My Neighbour Totoro” by Hayao Miyazaki. It has an ability to appear and disappear at will and has a magic ability to take its passengers anywhere, even when they don’t know how to get there.
 
It usually transports Totoros but also helps the two girls in the film.
It has multiple caterpillar like legs and it runs, flies, bounces and hops across the countryside. A window stretches to become a door when a person would like to board it to travel. Its eyes shine a yellow light brightly like headlamps to guide it. Mice with glowing eyes sit next to and light up its destination sign, and on its back serve as tail lights.
