Notably, Mei and Satsuki talk to each other throughout this anime.

They often talk about Totoro (mentioned as a "he" in the English translation) and the Catbus (unknown sex) but even more about their hospitalised mother.

Very much a female-centered film. There are only a few male characters in the entire thing, and they barely ever interact with each other (if at all). The plot is driven by the women and girls, as it is in most of Miyazaki's movies.
