YesAsia Editorial Description

Studio Ghibli has garnered a reputation for itself as the finest of Animé production houses with films like MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, PRINCESS MONONOKE, and SPIRITED AWAY. First-time director Hiroyuki Morita joins Ghibli's talented crew with THE CAT RETURNS (NEKO NO ONGAESHI). This follow-up to WHISPER OF THE HEART centers around young Haru, who rescues a cat from being run over. The cat is no ordinary feline, however--he is the Prince of the Cats, and for saving him Haru is brought into the Kingdom of Cats to be his bride. But her feline friends Muta and the Baron may have a plan to rescue her from this unusual fate. Like many of the Studio Ghibli films, THE CAT RETURNS is a modern day ALICE IN WONDERLAND, featuring a protagonist who takes a trip into a wondrous and strange fantasy setting.

"There are gruff cats, sad cats, thuggish cats and dapper cats....The film revels in their expressive possibilities..." - Nick, Bradshaw (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 06/01/2005

"[With] great charm, and the drawings have a quite beautiful simplicity." - Danny, Leigh (Film Critic), Uncut, 10/01/2005

Superb Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Picked this up to complete my Ghibli collection. What an adventure! This movie really made my day!
Liked the characters alot and the cantonese dub is decent (but the main female sounded a little half asleep).
My only complaint is the quality of the animation which is not as good as the other Ghibli movies: afterall, this IS one of the latest ghibli titles. Other than that, the story is not to be missed!

The Cat`s Whiskers Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Studio Ghibli have managed to create yet another magical masterpiece.The animation is superb and although the story may be a little sparse, the characters more than make up for this minor flaw.I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film, which left me with a big smile on my face for the rest of the day.
Recommended for anyone who enjoys excellent animation and,of course, cats.

Another Excellent Work of Studio Ghibli Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Seeing Japanese Animation since young kid of 7 yrs. I am 40 yrs. now, still loving the J-animation. One of the Master Miyazaki's employees did this work, and in this movie, there is no good or evil, nor magic neither witches, it is just a ordinary school girls, like a neighbor girl next door, into a wonderful Cat's Kingdom, and found out her confidence back and finally back to normal life. My 2 yrs. baby boys watched this movie again and again, "My Neighborhood Totoro" also is his favor, to have young kids and adult a pure entertainment and clear mind of Human Beings. Get this movie and it worth every penny of your harworking money!!

Swwweeeet Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is one of my best Japanese Animes i've seen in a long time...although the beginning was a little slow, but it won't distract you from the rest of the movie. A lot of funny parts, some very true points of a teen girl's life...being late...yet it still takes you to another world. I couldn't take the smile off my face. A great must see anime movie!!!

Sweet Movie-Sugoi!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Hayao Miyazaki does it again. The Cat Returns is a movie with a simple story line. "Always be yourself". The movie is not as dark as Spirited Away, and one call tell based on the colour of the settings in the movie.

The story tells of a young girl called Haru who saves a cat one day from being killed by a truck. Unknown to her the cat is actually a prince from the "Cat Kingdom". The prince's father decides to repay the debt by showering haru with "cat gifts" much to her chargin and worse off, tries to marry her off to the prince. She then seeks the help of another walking and talking cat called Baron to help her get out of the predicament. Story goes on to tell their escape out of Cat Kingdom before Haru actually becomes a cat herself.

I especially like the bit where Baron and friends come and rescue her and also interesting to see how cats can walk upright!! Only problem is that i find the movie a tad to short. This story will bring a smile to your face. very sweet!
