Thanking her for saving his life, the price vows to repay the young girl. It seems that the cat is actually a talking cat, and is a prince in the world of cats. One day she saves a cat walking across the street from getting hit by a truck and her world turns upside down. She’s a bit clumsy, has a crush on the cute upperclassmen and really likes cute kitties. Haru (Chizuru Ikewaki/Anne Hathaway) is your average Japanese high school student. It reminds me very much of those old gentlemen knights in armor tales, where the dashing knight/Baron comes in to rescue the damsel in distress from the evil villains, well in this caste only semi evil, it IS a G rated film. A quirky little fantasy film, it deal with themes such as hanging on to what you are, as well as the dangers of becoming something you’re not. The Cat Returns is a bit of a unique release among the Ghibli lineup, it was directed by one off director Hiroyuki Morita, and his difference in directing and visual aesthetics sets it apart from the rest. With these new releases, Shout Factory and Studio Ghibli have worked together to rectify those small issues and re-release their lineup on Blu-ray once more at a substantially lower price than Disney was able to.

traditional direct translations from the Japanese language tracks that REALLY frustrated purists (myself included). Disney did some great stuff with their Studio Ghibli releases, but there were a small handful of titles (such as Princess Monnonoke) that had subpar subtitles as Disney used “Dubtitles” (translations of the English dub) vs. I missed the opportunity to review for you all 8 titles that were released on the 17th of October, but over the course of the next month or so there will be another set of batches that are coming over via Shout, and I’ll be putting those out for you. Over this last month they have released 8 of their original titles that were given to Disney, and are in the works to redistribute just about all the rest of their titles (minus the ones licensed to Universal and Up on Poppy Hill and Grave of the Fireflies), INCLUDING the single title that even Disney couldn’t get. As of 2017 Studio Ghibli has officially cut ties with Disney proper for their releases and have moved over to Shout Factory as their new distributor.
