"Magical animation film"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This movie rates up there with other Studio Ghibli Films. It is of course beautifully animated and well scripted.

I dare you not to fall in love with the main character – Haru a Japanese schoolgirl for whom nothing seems to be going right! I am sure many will be able to relate to the feelings she has about her mundane, unexciting life. How things change for her!!

Quite short compared with other Studio Ghibli films, yet the length of the film does not in anyway take away from the quality of it.

Great for the everyone – easy for the younger ones to follow

The cat returns, is such a cute wee anime film, a definately a must watch on those warm summer days or cold winter evenings. I dare you not to fall in love with all the hero characters (or should i say kitty cats) hehe. Good Movie. I reccomend it.

Description

The Cat Returns

(Neko no Ongaeshi) is a 2002 Japanese animated family drama film directed by Hiroyuki Morita of Studio Ghibli, a spin-off of Whisper of the Heart.

From the creators of the Academy Award® winning SPIRITED AWAY (Best Animated Feature Film, 2002) comes the visually stunning THE CAT RETURNS, a spectacular animated journey to a world of magic and adventure. Haru, a schoolgirl bored by her ordinary routine, saves the life of an unusual cat, and suddenly her world is transformed beyond anything she ever imagined. The Cat King rewards her good deed with a flurry of presents, including a very shocking proposal of marriage to his son!
