The Cat Returns update feed
"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."
"30.7 Ihan kiva pieni Liisa Ihmemaassa -henkinen seikkailu Ghibliltä, mutta tietyllä tavalla eloton tapaus studiolta, jonka elokuvat ovat tunnettuja elävistä maailmoistaan ja muistettavista hahmoistaan. Päähenkilö Haru on kovin yksiulotteinen tapaus ja jää pahasti Paronin sekä lihavan kissan varjoon. Parhaimmillaan tämä on silloin kun fokus on itse kissojen valtakunnassa, mikä ei ole kuin puolet elokuvan kestosta."
" It was actually directed by Hiroyuki Morita. Hayao Miyazaki has produced this movie. I had never heard of Hiroyuki Morita before but it is understandable since he never directed another movie before or after this feature. Anyway, as usual with Studio Ghibli, the animation was pretty gorgeous but, honestly, I wasn't really blown away by the story. I mean, it was nice, charming and all but, in my opinion, the target audience was, this time, obviously the young children so when I hear people say"
