DISNEY - THE CAT RETURNS(2002)
This is kinda a part 2 of Whisper Of The Heart! And let
me tell you, it's not anywhere near the quality of that
great movie! This is strictly a kids movie, but it is
cute! B
A review from Amazon:
The Cat Returns (2002) brings back Muta, the cranky
fat cat, and Baron von Gikkingen, the elegant statue,
from the feature Whisper of the Heart (1995). On her
way home from school, Haru, a confused 17-year-old,
prevents an elegant gray cat from being hit by a truck.
She's inadvertently saved the life of Lune, Prince of the
Cat Kingdom, and his royal father decides to thank her.
He fills her locker with gift-wrapped mice and decides
she should come to his kingdom and marry Lune. Haru
seeks help from the Cat Bureau, and eventually returns
to relatively normal life, with the assistance of Muta
and the Baron.
The Cat Returns recalls Whisper of the Heart and Takashi
Nakamura's Catnapped, but it offers neither the wistful
charm of the former nor the bold visual imagination of
the latter. Hayao Miyazaki has been seeking young
directors for Studio Ghibli for several years. After
preparing the script and storyboards for Whisper, he
turned the film over to Yoshifumi Kondo, who died
tragically shortly after the film's release. The Cat Returns
was directed by Hiroyuki Morita, who shows promise,
but lacks Kondo's elegant sensibility. The DVD extras
include a fulsome making-of documentary, Morita's
voluminous storyboards, and mini-interviews with the
vocal cast that includes Tim Curry, Cary Elwes, Peter Boyle,
and Elliott Gould. (Rated G: minor scary imagery and
cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon
