Story
An animated film from the Japanese Ghibli Studios, “The Cat Returns” is the story of a teenage girl, Haru, who saves a cat’s life, only to discover that he is Prince Lune from the legendary Kingdom of Cats. Haru is invited to accompany him there in gratitude, but her delight turns to horror when she finds out that Lune’s father, the evil King of the Cats, is planning to turn her into a cat and marry her to his son. The concept for the film comes from Ghibli Studios’ founder, Hayao Miyazaki. It is former animator Hiroyuki Morita’s first work as director.
