The heart-warming film sold more tickets than four new offerings – The Grinch, Searching, Running to the Spring and Padman. My Neighbor Totoro is the first of Miyazaki’s film to receive a wide public release in China – it is showing in 6,000 cinemas. While Miyazaki’s films and his whimsical cinematic characters have regaled worldwide audiences for decades, the films have never had a widespread public release in China. A public relations executive for China Jash Film, the promoter of the film, told the Post they were only screened as academic releases before. . . . In China, two versions, one in the original Japanese and one dubbed into Mandarin, are available. Edited June 27, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
