About this product

Product Information

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.

A must-own for admirers of fantasy and Miyazaki
Miyazaki may only have had a hand in the film's concept, but this modern fairy-tale film is every bit as good and entertaining as many of the master's magical works. His studio and its fantastic team of animators and creators made it and it was done by a new and talented director (Hiroyuki Morita) as his very first feature film. Haru, voiced excellently by Anne Hathaway (in the English dubbed version), is charming and endearing as the somewhat irresponsible and insecure high-school student – anxious, klutzy, and always seeming to be late for everything. Her character, like all the characters in Miyazaki's films, goes through a wonderful and entertaining growth while visiting this magical other world of cats, the Cat Kingdom. The film has a great voice cast namely (besides Hathaway) Peter Boyle as the grumpy and lovable Muta, Tim Curry as the hilarious and conniving Cat King, and Cary Elwes as the chivalrous and admirable Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (a.k.a. Baron, who is the titled Cat Returns). With gorgeous animation, wonderful characters, lots of hilarious lines and scenes, and entertaining fantasy that's somewhat like a version of Alice in Wonderland with cats, the movie is a modern-day classic. It's good, clean, entertaining fantasy fun (and funniness) for the entire family.
