Yes
== Description and Size ==
The description says the sprites are "tennis ball sized" but look how small they are in comparison to Chihiro's shoes, bearing in mind she is 10 years old:

They are much closer to a golf ball or ping-pong ball, Are they directly described anywhere as being tennis-ball sized? If not this seems like an error.

* IIRC, Japanese (generally?) doesn't distinguish between singular and plural nouns, so it'd be both singular and plural. [[Special:Contributions/99.199.172.186|99.199.172.186]] ([[User talk:99.199.172.186|talk]]) 05:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Susuwatari]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=703823893 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20140606223600/http://www.barnesandnoble.com/enwiki/w/dvd-my-neighbor-totoro-cheryl-chase/3631912?ean=24543059233 to http://www.barnesandnoble.com/enwiki/w/dvd-my-neighbor-totoro-cheryl-chase/3631912?ean=24543059233

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' to let others know.

"Sen is told that if these Susuwatari aren't given a job to do, they turn back into soot." IMHO Kamajii told so. 87.224.249.18 (talk) 12:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
