The Cat Returns (2002)

My youngest son is minoring in film, and while his loves are narrow, the things that he is willing to experience in depth when it comes to movies is not.  This week it is movies from Japan and this is the first one we watched.

I am a fan of the animation style that this movie exemplifies, even if I thought the story was a bit underwhelming.  A girl helps a cat, and then discovers that he is a cat prince in a cat world that she is transported to in order to thank her for saving him.  It is well worth watching just to see the world that is created but it is not one of my favorite Japanese animated movies.
