Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

coolcat01 Finally Miyazaki's making real pictures about real issues!

KV Bharadwaj I stumbled upon the movie while listening to Studio Ghibli music collection. If you haven't yet heard 'Kaze ni Naru' - the main soundtrack from the movie, do it now. One of the most pleasant, relaxing soundtracks I ever heard. Anyway, after having the soundtrack in my playlist for about couple of weeks, I finally found time to watch the movie. The movie follows the main character - Haru who saves a cat from getting run over by a truck. To her astonishment, the cat thanks her. Only later does she realise that the cat was actually the prince from Kingdom of cats. The king, as a token of thanks, wants her to be his daughter in law against her will. What follows is her adventure through the kingdom, along with Baron and Muta from the Cat Bureau who try to save her. At about 75 minutes, it was short yet well scripted. All characters were super fun, especially Haru and The Baron. It might not be the best of the Ghibli collections, but I recommend to watch it at least once.

Raymond Karago Like I said in my review of Whispers of The Heart, there was a character known as The Baron (voiced by Carey Elwes) would feature a more prominent role in this film. Much like Whispers of the Heart, this was a very pleasant surprise.Though, this had a bit more fantasy to it, it was still a very likable film that made me feel really cheerful after I felt it. The characters are all very likable. The main character, voiced by Anne Hathaway, was very innocent and in a lot of ways, was one of the most relatable characters I have seen in a Studio Ghibli film, for me. Shy, needs lessons in confidence that she gradually learns over the course of the film to stand up for herself after being thrown into precarious situations. She's curious, polite and very wide eyed.The rest of the cast does very well, Carey Elwes was great as the Barron, charming yet he clearly always knew what he was talking about. The other cast did well too, Peter Boyle was great and Tim Curry, over the top as always and I loved it. The writing for this film was very clever and it things that don't seem to have that much relevance all seem to add up in the end. And add up quite well in the end I might add.Overall, The Cat Returns is a great film. It's funny, touching and has great characters, what more could you ask for.

bcheng93 out of all the ghibli studio productions which i have watched almost all, this one is the funniest and the most suited for small children. of course it is still a movie fit for all age groups too. cat lovers will love this movie even more.except for the slow opening, this movie moves at a really quick pace. the story is about a teenage girl named Haru who happens to saved a cat from getting run over by a truck and because the cat happens to be a magical cat prince the cat king wants to reward her by forcing her to marry the cat prince. craziness ensues after that with a lot of funny moments and some unforgettable characters including a very cute ill tempered fat cat named Muta.its not one of Ghiblis best but still very very good and a little different and quite loony.
