The Cat Returns (Neko no ongaeshi)

One word- BEAUTIFUL!

“I have this anime on DVD, and for me it is just stunning. i have also enjoyed Princess Mononoke and Castle of Cagliostro, but what makes this movie stand out for me is that it is so relaxing to watch.True, it is one of the weaker Ghibli efforts, but I think some of the criticisms are a little unfair. The only problem is that it is a little too short, only 75 minutes, but you'll love it anyway. the animation is beautiful, some lovely colours in the ballroom scene. The music was gorgeous, and being a singer I look out for this in every movie. The storyline while simple, is surprisingly well told, and is also fast-moving. The voice talents is where I have to make a confession. I have only watched the version with the English voices, which were a delight. Anne Hathaway voices Haru wonderfully,” read more

Movies the giraffe watched in 2018: September (31 movies items)

"First viewing - Sept. 7th I picked this up to watch with the kiddo in my continuing quest to lead her through the Studio Ghibli run. And it was good, but I can't say I loved it. There are some really funny moments, and it strives to entertain non-stop, but in the end I found it to be just a cute movie that was worth seeing once."
