Kirby and Totoro: the same melody?

[The Damned]

Am I the only one that thinks the Totoro theme:

and the Great Cave Escape from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse:

Sound pretty similar? Specifically, from 0:45 and on?

Never noticed it until today. I'm sure it's been pointed out before but I can't find anyone that has mentioned it before.

It does sound similar, but I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence.
