And the answer is…

Kangaroo? Bunny? Okay, those two I can understand. But ARMADILLO?

The answer to yesterday’s quiz is: Totoro! (My Neighbor Totoro is one of Sylvia’s favorite movies—Jan’s and mine, too. It’s creative and sweet and just utterly charming.)

Here’s a photo from the film. Jan subbed a cocktail umbrella for a full-sized one because he didn’t feel like toting around a big umbrella all night.

    Oh, of course! That was a totally cool costume! (and movie)

    I’m from Arkansas where there are lots of armadillos. So, “armadillo” was my initial thought, too. :)

    Quick FYI: Totoro was such a hit in Japan that there are Totoro stores selling all kinds of stuff. When I lived in Japan, and before I saw the movie, I thought it was a cartoon series or something–but definitely not just a one-time movie.

    Jan’s costume is awesome. Great job with the hat. Two days? That’s turbo!

    A-ha! Very cool costume.

    I would have guessed armadillo too. :)
