Does the US, UK or Aus Localized DVD/Bluray of My Neighbor Totoro have the bathing scene?
I recently bought the Disney Blu-Ray release of My Neighbor Totoro from 2013, and the bath scene is in it. Here's screenshots:






The Disney release is rated G, which means the MPAA considers it suitable to be watched by anyone. It has both subtitles and a dub starring a young Dakota and Elle Fanning as Satsuki and Mei, and Tim Daly, who is best known in fandom for voicing Superman in the DC Animated Universe, as their father.

When I was about 13, I rented the old Fox Video VHS release with the Streamline dub from Blockbuster Video, and I distinctly remember the bath scene also being in that version. The answer I wrote to the linked question presents evidence that Miyazaki refused to allow edited releases of his work after the travesty that was Warriors of the Wind, which would also have applied to the Streamline release of My Neighbor Totoro as Warriors of the Wind was released in 1985, three years before My Neighbor Totoro came out.

Sounds like someone didn't do their research before they made claims about what had or hadn't been cut from international releases of the movie, and made unfounded assumptions about what was and wasn't acceptable. This reminds me of Kaworu Watashiya's utter cluelessness about just what it was that American publishers found objectionable about Kodomo no Jikan.
