This movie is a bit strange, but it's very cute. I don't really get how it is about discovering yourself, but the movie has a good storyline and is HILARIOUS, hehehe, the cats walk on their hind legs...

The animation was as expected, very good. The story was not as good as other Ghibli ones to begin with. Maybe more of a childish one rather than one a whole family could enjoy. The one thing that still makes any Ghibli film amazing though is its depth of such imaginative characters. Definitely worth a watch and if you like it then I recommend you watch a fair few more of the Ghibli films.

This was the most direct studio Ghibli film I've seen. Straight to the point. This movie is like every young girls dream fantasy come to life. It's not so much a film for men but it's entertaining enough.

Absolutely amazing! I saw the English dubbed version, not sure how much it differs from the original language or subtitles.
A girl saves a cats life, and in return gets a trip to Cat Kingdom and to marry the son of a really pervy cat king - she isn't too happy with this so approaches the Cat Bureau, run by a very nice, helpful and clever little model of a cat. Sound mad? It is, and it's brilliant. Funny, scary and cute. This is something I would have loved as a child. -

Yet another masterpiece from Studio Ghibli. It may not have the depth of My Neighbour Tortoro or Spirited Away, but it's still immensely enjoyable, endlessly imaginative, beautifully written and impossible not to love.

Awesome! A nice Studio Ghibli film. A bit rushed at the end. This is a nice movie to watch on a Saturday afternoon.

Another really great film from Studio Ghibli - shock horror! lol And yet though I did enjoy it, it wasn't quite up to par with the rest. It just seemed rather abrupt at times and a little rushed compared to other Ghibli movies - it all happened so quickly and then it was just suddenly over just like that! But apart from that small blip - it was still really good so still gets 4 stars and a happy face :) hehehe

A light-hearted and cute family film, from the creators of Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (2001) and Mononoke-Hime (1997). Worth a cute watch.

Based upon a statue in Kiki's Delivery Service, it is fun and if you love cats, well, this is certainly one for you

I had to say I loved this movie. It's the kind of movie I would have liked to have seen in my childhood. It has charm, mystery and surprise.

Very amusing! Miyazaki scores again! It's a very nice story, although the ending does leave you wanting more. The English voice actor for the cat is Cary Elwes, the guy who played Westley in The Princess Bride. He did great!!
I have to say, like Haru, that "Just for the record, I have a slight crush on you, Baron." He is another one of those amazing anime characters that are just so brilliant that you have to love them, like Kenshin. -

A cute anime movie about a girl who gets drawn into a fantastical world of, yes, cats. Talking cats. Wearing hats. Reminded me of Spirited Away.

This was fun to watch but the plot felt a bit lazy. If you like Studio Ghibli then watch it but dont expect the brilliance of those in my top 6

Moins d'attentes que ça, tu meurs.
C'est peut-être l'une des raison pour laquelle The Cat Returns s'installe sans aucun problème dans mon top 3 des dessins-animés orientaux, même devant des classiques comme Mononoke Princess qui ont jadis percés mon coeur d'ivoire.
À vrai dire, comment ne pas se prosterner devant le brio de Hiroyuki Morita? Tout commençait par la proposition d'un parc d'attraction japonais qui, semblait-il, désirait commander un court-métrage d'une quizaine de minutes mettant en scène des chats. Hayao Miyazaki, y voyant l'occasion de former un autre maître de l'anime (puisque ceux-ci se font vieillissant), confie le projet à Morita, un jeune homme ayant travaillé, entre autre, dans le département d'animation de My Neighbors the Yamadas. Résultat? Morita est si enthousiasmé par l'opportunité qui se présente à lui qu'il passe une semaine complète à faire les croquis d'une histoire si complète qu'elle en vient à faire un peu plus d'une heure de contenu. Les producteurs, dont Miyazaki, sont alors incroyablement impressionnés par la volonté de Morita, d'autant plus qu'il a pris d'énormes libertés en modifiant et en améliorant certains thèmes piliers du scénario original (aucun humain n'était supposé y être).
Sincèrement, ce fut une aventure exquise, dont je ne cesse encore de me délecter. Certes, les graphiques, pour un film de 2002, sont très loin d'être extraordinaires, et cela surprend énormément durant les premières minutes du film. Sauf qu'on s'y fait rapidement et que les personnages sont beaucoup trop charmants pour qu'on puisse chigner sur quoi que ce soit. Et sincèrement, je dois avouer que ça fait un peu de bien de voir un film merveilleux dirigé par quelqu'un d'autre que Miyazaki. Morita apporte un vent de fraîcheur, certes, mais avant tout d'humour. Car on ne cesse de rire et de sourire, les répliques mordantes et tordantes sont toujours au rendez-vous, certains personnages sont tout simplement hilarant et chaque minute apparaît désespérément pour le spectateur comme un pas de plus vers le générique qu'on ne veut pas voir défiler. -

This movie was so great, I loved it. It really gives a great message about believing in yourself, not to mention an awesomely awesome guy.... Who's a cat.

A quaint, light fantasy film about a young girl who's swept into the mythical kingdom of cats.
Departing from the more epic Ghibli films The Cat Returns is strong enough to not rely on big battles, leaving time to develop the many bizarre characters that Haru meets.
Notable was the anthropomorphic Baron , The lazy, but lovable, Muta, and the cat King, who often snaps from cool to flirtatious, to random moodiness, to blind rage, to batshit crazy! What is up with him? I honestly think he is mentally deranged from his actions in the story.
The numerous references to Labyrinth were surprising and extremely pleasing to a fan such as myself. The voice acting was also stellar.
I laughed many times throughout this film and I think it has a lot going for it.
