"One boy made fun of me because one day, I had really curly hair, and I wear glasses normally, and I also bite my nails. I feel like everyone is different in their own way, so, people shouldn't try to make them feel bad because of that."
-Elle on how she relates to her character, Phoebe (aged 10).

Synopsis

Two young girls, Satsuki and her younger sister Mei, move into a house in the country with their father to be closer to their hospitalized mother. Satsuki and Mei discover that the nearby forest is inhabited by magical creatures called Totoros. They soon befriend these Totoros, and have several magical adventures.

Elle's Character

Mei is a 4-year-old Japanese girl with a big imagination. Mei is the younger sister of Satsuki (Dakota Fanning) and is the first to discover the huge Totoro near their home. While the girls' mother is ill, Satsuki helps her father to care for young Mei.

Trivia

. Originally, creator Hayao Miyazaki only planned one 6 year old girl in this story. He later decided to split her into two different girls - Mei (meaning 'May' in English) and Satsuki (meaning 'May' in old Japanese).
