4:50 Adam explaining material properties of synthetic catgut 16:09 Adam deeply looks into the fine details of how Totoros fur would feel 22:14 Adam begins to lose sanity 23:00 Adam has furgasm from the fluffiness 23:20 Adam loses all sense of maturity and reverts mentally to his 10 year old self 23:47 Adam cackles maniacally at his creation

Oh god...make Adam Savage's one day builds a multi season Netflix show...I could watch him build all day every day for years

Adam cursing at how cute totoro looks is my aesthetic

That moment when you realize Adam is so entertaining to watch that there is no music for most of the video's length.

i cant imagine watching anyone else do something like this for 40 minutes, something about Adam just makes this really enjoyable and interesting

I like how he calls it tummy fabric

His glee over the soft belly is one of the purest things I've ever seen

Me: I am not going to watch 40 Minutes of an adult man making a costume Also me, 40 minutes later: Totally worth it

Make a Baymax from Big Hero 6 cosplay costume next !!! :D

Proceeds to install mini fridge and snack pouch. Never leaves Totoro ever again.

Adam is the biggest child to ever exist xD

As an amateur seamstress, I love seeing Adam with buckets of quilting clips, bolts of muslin, and the exact same machine I use. It's so wonderful seeing people outside of the direct sewing community using and respecting my craft as something more than 'a granny thing'.

I feel like this is "Adam Savage shows how much effort cosplayers put into cosplay by making his own"

Adam is so cool! Just realised I've been a fan of his for over a decade now, which kinda makes me feel old lol.

I like how his ability to see is his last priority 😂

Can we appreciate the fact that this grown man, who we all look up to, uses the word "tummy"? He is a true inspiration.

i love all of adams builds, when he was a myth buster i had noidea he was a keen/epic Cosplayer

I know that most find it a minor detail with the claws being bendy an thus safe for the people around him, but its nice he's considerate about outhers around him becuse I've been snagged, bruised and even stabbed by cosplayers costumes. Its sometimes unavoidable but its good to at least have personal awareness if you are going to be a porcupine. 😸

get a man that looks at you the way Adam savage looks at totoro

This video just shows how much Adam loves his “handsome boy” Totoro

I feel like he’s the Bob Ross of DIY’s Or Bob Ross is the painters Adam Savage He’s very relaxing to listen to, that’s my point.

Adam, Thank you for this build. It has given me the best way to build a Snorlax cosplay outfit.

The rough assembly foamcore idea is that special knowledge/experience library in Adams head hard at work. I love that!

You helped me so much figure out how to make my little brothers Totoro, instead of the camera system cause it was for such a small con, we figured out that we could fake the nose and used that as his way of seeing out. It turned out wonderfully. thank you, Love watching your work, keep at it!

You sewed together faux fur using a normal sewing machine and managed not to clog it. I am impressed.

Gosh, Adam should write a book on how to make stuff from scratch.

Adam’s maniacal giggle at 23:49 gives me such joy 😊

This is what I want from tested. So good and not overproduced

5:44 "I don't have some kind of special expert knowledge that nobody else has, I just learned this from a personal conversation with the guy who built and operated Big Bird"

41:00 if you play the next 30 seconds of video in reverse, Totoro gives birth to an Adam Savage.

You should definitely do snorlax now!

"I foresee an ARMY of Totoros!!!" Actually the cutest thing I've heard in months. So precious. (Yes, let them rise up. Feed off of humanity's hugs and rULE THE WORLD FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! ..the..the Totoros, that is. Not you, human. Only Totoros may rule here. Goodbye. )

I just love Adams personality, I could be down deep depressed, watching Adam build stuff and see him enjoying the process always brings me a bright smile. Thank you Adam!

23:48 That is the laugh that every creator has also laughed at one time or another. It is one of my favorite sounds. The sound of creation come to life.

The reason i'm subbed.

Laputian Robot from Castle in the Sky, Yubaba from Spirited Away, Muta From the Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle, The Great Forest Spirit/the Nightwalker from Princess Mononoke, or Majin Buu from DBZ!

I can't believe I spent 40 minutes on this video. I don't regret anything.

HE'S SO HAPPY MAKING THIS IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM GOING CRAZY OVER IT

"You're a handsome boy" Me: *has a cat named totoro who is grey with a white tummy and just thinks about him dressing up my cat to be a handsome boy*

Thank you for now laying the ground work for how I will do my snorlax costume

I love watching these because I love watching Adam insanely happy. He just gets so giddy and it makes me really happy.

23:23 him being so happy is almost cuter than the costume!

I love how after completing certain parts of his build he laughs with joy. I definitely laughed too when he put those paper eyes on, lol.

Adam is a man who has truly found joy in life. Easy guy to like, love and respect.

my favourite part of cosplay is just how ingenious and clever people are! great totoro!

Hey Adam, if you use that support structure for costumes in the future, you probably want to consider running some foam over the band of metal that runs in front of your mouth. If you were to have a fall you would be really grateful for the 30 seconds you took to glue something a little protective on there. Also, if you ever want to wear a big costume like this in a really high temperature, have a look into cooling vests. I use one for medical reasons, but I reckon they would be great for keeping comfortable doing something like this too :D

Oooohhh I just thought, you should try Baymax, either version would be awesome (Baymax, or Baymax 2.0), or you could try making Fred's Kaiju monster costume :o

i love watching adam jump for joy ever since i was a kid. love you adam. never change.

Everyone in costuming needs respect. Its why many at comic con is so nice; we all know we are weird and we know the hard work put into costumes.

seeing a grown man so child like excited about totoro make me so happy :3

20:40 is so adorable. Because I sew and get surprised when people find it so hard. Hes so pure and good ahhh.

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Adam is an absolute gem and what an amazing build! Wow!

It would be amazing to see you try Sulley from Monsters, Inc./ University

Adam Savage is the Bob Ross of cosplay.

I love the editing in this episode

Adam's enthusiasm makes everything great. I love how much he loves this.

For a 3D Design course, my partner and I used this video as ref for our final project! We made Totoro entirely out of duct tape and cardboard!! It was so much fun!

"Big costume, small package" Life as a virgin in a fur-suit.

this is ASMR for the soul

He is such a nerdy kid at heart. I love him.

The one day builds are my favorite. Its been so long since the last one. Finally they are back

Adam must be a really fun uncle

adam savage has been one of my favorite people since i and the rest of my family first discovered "myth busters" i miss that show to death and i believe adam is cosplay king

I smiling so much right now!!! I'm so happy that he's so happy because Totoro is the best!!!!

up until min 15: GIANT EGG COSTUME TUTORIAL

Adam, I absolutely love your spirit, energy and envolvement. It's inspiring and heart warming. I can and often do, watch your video'sfor hours on end, they bring me back to a very special place, one that i recently found out i missed in my life. Thank you!

Hi Adam, great job on creating Totoro! While watching you create this, I saw you using an Exacto knife to cut your fabric. As a quilter and seamstress, I wanted to suggest you buy yourself a rotary cutter. It will make cutting fabric for projects like this much easier for you. Make sure you get a cutting mat as well to use with the cutter. I loved watching your creation come to life. Kudos!!

Your next Comic Con build should be Baymax. Your costumes keep getting larger and rounder, Baymax is just the next level!

This was awesome to watch. I made a similar sized Totoro “bed”. I just sewed the belly on top of the fur. I loved watching your process and how excited you were. I felt the same way when I was finally done. Need to get some of that spray sticky stuff. Shaving the fur was genius!

Ahhh!!! Totoro has a tail Adam!!

I wish I had someone with this level of talent, dedication, and joy in my life.

The amount of happiness you got when you put the fur on just filled me with such a warm feeling :3 I love the Totoro costume it's so freakin cute

this is so wonderfully pure

Adam! you forgot Totoro's tail! HIS TAIL! 😰

This guy is my hero! It really is evident that he truly has worked hard to build his skillset.

*Knows price of faux fur costumes. Watches him cut out that giant swath of tummy fur instead of just calculating the pieces on the muslin first... weeps*

I WORK IN COSTUMES THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUTOUT BC I FEEL LIKE SO MANY PPL THINK OUR JOB IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN SCENIC/PAINT/PROPS/ETC !!!

Seriously love your work. From the passion and your obvious skills coupled with years of experience, watching you create functional art (FART) is inspiring and a joy to watch. I wish we had videos like yours back in the 70s/80s. Keep it up!

45 Minutes of Adam building stuff? Oh hell yeah!

oh shit!! ADAM SAVAGE IS SLOWLY BECOMING A COSPLAYER!!

Man.. I'm envious of your time, talent and money. The fun you have must be so uplifting. I miss cosplaying.

hey Adam after watching this have you thought of getting an overhead projector from back in the old days of school so that you can draw shapes and then have them projected like when doing the belly so you don't have to holl the scale version up then back and forth across the room

I don't know the story behind Totoro, but I'm already in love with how he looks

he is pure chaotic energy when he works i love him

am I the only one that loves how childlike he is XD

• Adam's tool collection is enough to make any man feel inadequate. 😅 • 41:41 - "I kinda like it in here - it's privut." • Adam and Tested, thank you so much for making this extremely educational video! The only question it didn't answer for me is why Adam didn't end up puppeting the arms.

His excitement at this is bringing me to the point of...love the way he's just so...wow..he deserves more views

it would have been cool if he had backed the fur on the arms and legs with a layer or two of wadding to give them a little more density because they just kinda look like flacid hairy tubes of fabric when compared to the level of structure of the rest of the body. also, just another thought, maybe it would have been worth exploring taking it a little further into puppeteering territory and having a single rod (possibly PVC piping with a layer of foam simply tied around it) in each arm that was somehow mounted and suspended inside the costume similarly to how an oar on a rowboat is attached to the boat, so Adam could have the option of controlling and flapping the arms about while not constricting his own arms in furry sleeves. it would probably make it a 1.25 day build, but still would be cool to see because Adam obviously has a giant crush on the Henson creature shop.

the whole time watching this i was thinking to myself. "Um how's adam going to see." then he mentioned it lol.

This would definitely keep you warm and i for one accept this as a thing all totoro costumes should incorporate

This is so awesome. I had a roommate that was a costumer for a theater. All I can think about is how much she would be going insane watching this. Ha ha.

Since your hands are free inside, how about making an eyelid mechanism and maybe even a wiggling nose, that would be so cool. Nice build though, I'm 13 and these are the things I wanna build when I figure out how to stop my addiction for spending all my pocket money for food.

Sewing and crafting are my two favorite hobbies. I could watch this all day 😊

32:35 Adam casually sliding up Totoro's ass.

Loved the shot at 20:14. Short, silent, and perfect

For future reference/any one who wants to make this: To make the change of fabric stretch easier to work with, sew a fabric with the same stretch as the least streachy fabric to the streachy fabric. In this case, felt under the cream fur. You can also use fusible interfacing if its similar if you dont want to sew. Also it was amazing to hear appreciation for seamstresses. I felt the exact same way for all my mentors

the ultimate cosplayer

Adam never grew up. He just got older.

this video absolutely inspired me to design a Totoro ballgown made entirely of fake fur. Adam is doing just amazing work and I hope he never stops inspiring creativity.
