Written on May 10, 2008 Summary: The Cat Returns Just to clear up a misconception - this film should not be considered a sequel to Whisper of the Heart. Although the two cat characters, the Baron and Muta, are shared in the two films, the stories have absolutely nothing to do with each other, other than the lead female character being a schoolgirl in a uniform, and both showing a realistic glimpse of life in Japan. In Whisper, Muta is truly Mute, while here he is a wisecracking albeit faithful warrior, who sounds not entirely unlike Nyako Sensei, a 1970s anime. If you like Ghibli, cats, Japan, fantasy adventure, or good Anime, you might like The Cat Returns.  Written on April 19, 2008 Summary: A surprisingly good movie! Based on other reviews of this, and knowing Miyazaki was not at the helm for this one, I was a bit worried about its quality. But it's the only Ghibli movie we didn't have, so we got it for our son's b-day. Other than the awkward transitions from scene to scene (the screen goes black for a few seconds, as if it were about to cut to a commercial (!), the movie was quite up to the normal Ghibli standards. The animation was good (nothing IMHO measures up to "Howl's Moving Castle" as far as animation goes) and the story was remarkably good. It was a very uplifting story. People on IMDB are always complaining about the English dubs of Ghibli films, but we thought the voices were fine. We don't speak Japanese anyway, so we'd never really be able to tell if the voices were dubbed "wrong" or whatever. Highly recommended. We all liked it much better than "Whisper of the Heart," which was the first Ghibli movie featuring the "Baron" cat character. This movie is not a sequel - other than the Baron, nobody from "Whisper" is in it - and contains its own good story. Written on April 15, 2008 Summary: A Miyazaki is still a Miyazaki I wasn't sure about this particular Miyazaki film since I'm not a big fan of the cover. A cat in a suit? Hrm. Due to his track record of wonderful titles, I bought it anyway on faith and was not disappointed. I still think I like his later work a little better, but this one is still worth a spot in your DVD collection. Written on March 4, 2008 Summary: Another Anime for the daughter. Just close to 12 at the time and absorbed in anime, this also met her cat-fancy needs. She loved it, I watched it with her, and it's not a typical wide-eyed, violent Japanese anime. Chick-flick, pre-teen style, ala Japan, I guess. I don't pretend to understand, and I pray it's one of those "phases", lol....but she loved it. Written on December 11, 2007 Summary: I wish there was more... This was a great movie, I just wish there was another one, I didn't want it to end! |
