The Cat Returns (2002) 7/10

Starring : Anne Hathaway, Cary Elwes, Judy Greer, Andrew Bevis, Kristen Bell, Tim Curry
Director : Hiroyuki Morita
Running Time : 75 mins

When a young girl named Haru (Hathaway) saves a cat from being hit by a truck, she finds herself inundated with gifts from the cat world, but things soon turn bad when the king of the cats (Curry) demands that Haru marry his son, Prince Lune (Bevis) and join them in the cat world, so Haru turns for help to a cat known as the Baron (Elwes) who attempts to protect her from the cat king’s clutches.

This is a beautifully animated movie, filled with wonderful characters and some charming set pieces. All of the voice actors bring their characters to life with a wonderful talent, and this makes a brilliant addition to Whisper Of The Heart, the movie that inspired this to be made.
