Young Haru rescues a cat from being run over, but soon learns it's no ordinary feline; it happens to be the Prince of the Cats. (Netflix)
Reviews (1)
Even in the most instructive fashion, Studio Ghibli never fails, and through its amazing characters (Baron), surprising amount of lines (I was tearing up from laughter during the chase in the labyrinth), and touching soundtrack, I could only stare in surprise at how comprehensively this short fairy tale works, even though it is based on a concept very similar to the year older Spirited Away. If not for the persistent feeling that in the end The Cat Returns functions almost like the first installment of a really epic series, I would have given my review the highest rating, but even so, the memories of the adorable Haru will remain extremely positive.
