Baby naps peacefully atop enormous, plush Totoro

Redditor Honestly_ snapped this pic of a tiny baby sleeping peacefully atop a giant, plush Totoro from the Studio Ghibli masterpiece My Neighbor Totoro. Dawwww.

I hope he appreciates this when he's older... (i.imgur.com) (via Super Punch)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

How on Earth have 5700 redditors found this worthy of a downvote?

  Because reddit has a whole subculture of cranks who hate everything.

Does anyone know which Totoro plush that is and where to buy it? I have seen plenty of oversized Totoros plush toys before, but this one looks better and more detailed than usual.

Because Reddit has an algorithm to obfuscate the exact number of up/down votes as an anti-spam measure.

From where I sit it looks like the baby is just about to slide off of that thing. The babes perch looks a wee bit precarious. Maybe mom/dad just plopped the babe down for a quick snap.
