Studio Ghibli Returns with THE CAT RETURNSReview created: 05/16/06(updated 05/23/06)

Ever since seeing SPIRITED AWAY, I've been a huge fan of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. With charismatic and magical stories and beautiful animation Miyazaki's films have a charm that appeal to young and old alike.
THE CAT RETURNS is another beautiful story about reaching for your dreams and learning to believe in yourself. A school girl named Haru saves a cat from being hit by a truck on her way home from school, and she's astounded to find out that not only can the cat talk, that he's the prince of the Kingdom of Cats. She's then kidnapped and taken to The Kingdom of the Cats, where she is expected to marry the prince!
With the help of Baron, a cat figurine, she must learn to believe in herself, or risk being transformed into a cat forever! Starring the incredible voice talents of Anne Hathaway, Cary Elwes, Peter Boyle, Elliot Gould, and Tim Curry, THE CAT RETURNS is a magical, animated adventure perfect for the entire family! This is one my daughter and I can watch together, and we'll be returning again and again for THE CAT RETURNS.

Sweet and Innocent!Review created: 06/02/06

This is the kind of movie you would watch when resting your children down for a nap, or a light movie just to watch during the day. It's very sweet and calming, my third favorite Mayazaki Movie. It's very creative and very much on the funny side. Entertaining and light! I strongly recommend this movie to the ages of 2-16. I enjoyed watching this movie with my family.

The Cat Returns...worthy of an encore
) 2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
This movie is a good natured, heart warming tale. It is definitely geared more for children than some of the other Studio Ghibli films. Dont get me wrong, adults will enjoy it, but there are others that are more entertaining available.

Another great movie from Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
If you love Miyazaki movies, this one is no exception, you must check it out! I think it's most similar to Kiki's Delivery Service.

The Cat ReturnsReview created: 03/25/08

A good movie for younger children with a fairy tale type story. The Cat is the Baron from the movie, "Whispers of the Heart", but don't expect the same storyline as Whispers. We thought this would be a sequel, but the story is about the adventures of the Baron helping a young girl who saves a cat from being run over, only to be chosen to marry a cat prince and is taken away against her will. Like I said, this a good movie for children, just don't expect it to compare and/or continue Whispers great story line.

The Cat Returns1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I have a copy of "The Cat Returns" in the original Japanese with English dialogue, but I was unable to figure out the graphic language to hear it in Japanese, only Chinese which, being used to listening to Japanese, was hard on the ears. I found this item while looking for an English dubbed version and subsequently bid on and won it. I have since watched it and the quality was excellent. Haha, a footnote; After watching the show in the English, I was able to translate some of the characters on the original disc and have since watched it twice in the Japanese with English sub-titles. I am not sure which version I like best although the English version gave me some of the extras to watch about the making of the movie.

You'll See Cats in a Whole New Way
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Vibrantly colorful and light hearted. After Haru saves a cat about to get hit by a truck she is visited by the Cat King who wants to reward her, turns out the cat she saved was his only son. She is then swept into a magical cat kingdom against her wishes to marry the prince she saved. Along the way she meets a very debonair cat (voice of Cary Elwes) who teaches her that if she believes in herself she will be able to accomplish anything. Once again a wonderful Studio Ghibli film the whole family will enjoy.

Excellent video.Review created: 10/10/09
by:
All DVDs in the anime series by Mirasaki are fantastic. This one develops a great connection between kids and their difficulties growing up and how pets can help them to cope. Kindness is rewarded, eventhough no one may be aware or care. Fantasy at its best.

The Cat ReturnsI bought the movie because I like different titles that my children have never heard of or seen before. The Movies by Hayoa Miyazaki are very interesting we have purchased most of them over the years and this one was just as interesting. Very imaginative and similar to Alice in Wonderland, but with a twist and a sense of humor in parts. Since the movies aren't the same ole ones our kids see everyday, they actually watch the whole movie. Great for little kids and my older daughter actually watched it and liked it also. The animation is wonderful and creative, great for the whole family.

A very nice Studio Ghibli movieReview created: 05/18/09
by:
The Cat Returns was a very sweet movie about believing in yourself. It was also very funny at times and the animation was wonderful. It has great voice talent in English or the original Japanese. I especially like that Tim Curry plays the voice of the King in the English version.
This part may be a spoiler so if you haven't see the movie skip to the ***
The best part of the movie in my opinion is when it shows the main character, Haru, when she was a girl feeding fish crackers to a small white kitten who is obviously homeless and starving. Then you find out later on in the movie that the same small white kitten, named Yuki, is living in the Cat Kingdom and ends up helping Haru to return her kindness from so long ago. Then to make it even better Yuki ends up marrying the prince, it is really wonderful and it warms your heart.
***
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who loves cats, sweet stories, funny stories, or Studio Ghibli films.

prompt delivery and exactly what I ordered. Used, but in good condition.
This is silly. E-bay insists on at least 100 characters for a review. I got what I ordered, it arrived in a timely fashion. What more do they expect, a learned discussion of the quality of the cinematography in the video? A discussion of the voice characterization perhaps?

One of the best anime I ever loved! ^_^Review created: 02/07/09
by:
The first time I saw "The Cat Returns" I read over an article that this one was another Ghibi Movie, I was so excited that I immediately rented over Netflixs. When I finally got my hands on it my mother and me started watching the movie. Even though my mom fell asleep during the movie, I so amazed that this was the best movie I ever watched. I love the kitties, the story, and the Ending theme song and not to mention the voice actors.
Soon after I watched the movie I decided to buy the movie for my friend during Christmas. Since she saw "Whisper of the Heart" I thought she would enjoy watching this anime since seeing the Cat Baron from the other movie.
So I recommend checking out this movie if you haven't seen this movie or haven't seen any of the Ghibi movies. That way you can understand the anime world more. ^_^

The BARON is back!Review created: 01/03/09
by:
We get to meet a young girl with a fantastic tale or should it be a cat's tail! Again a fun fanciful tale brought to us by this great studio. Disney backs great children stories and this one is of 'growing up'. It tells several ideas like 'doing for others' (the Baron for her) , pulling your own weight (one white cat joke there) and learning to stand on ones own (her tea blending at the end). You may find even more sound things in this...I have wanted it ever since I saw the cat statue in "Whisper of the Heart." Try this for a light hearted story of boy cat gets his girl cat (not girl turned into one). This was like 'My Friend Totoro' not the darker one about war titled for fireflies. It is a little about the Baron (the gentleman cat statute first seen in 'Whisper of the heart', so the title is not all wrong though it might be more for MOOTA (moo like a cow...ha ha ha this was a read line in the movie). Buy for fun watching unless you don't like cats, its over flowing with them from start to end!
