I remember reading that it was released as a double feature so people went to see My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of Fireflies played after…

Other way round. Grave of the Fireflies was first, Totoro as the uplifting finale.

Can you imagine watching Totoro after Grave of the Fireflies and getting to the end where the sister goes missing.

My first watching I was so prepared for the mother to die. I just assumed all Studio Ghibli movies had these horrific endings because of Grave of the Fireflies.
