#The cat returns review 1080p
StudioCanal offers up a beautiful rendering of The Cat Returns‘ digital animation on Blu-ray in an AVC/MPEG-4 1080p transfer. The English dub, released in the US, features an A list cast including Anne Hathaway (Haru), Cary Elwes (The Baron), Judy Greer (Yuki), Kristen Bell (Hiromi), Andy Richter (Natoru), Peter Boyle (Muta), and Elliott Gould (Toto). The high-flying final act pays obvious homage to its predecessor, and it also one of the best animated sequences of the film.

The emphasis here is placed much less on the characters and more on the adventure, but it is certainly a fun romp that moves along at a rapid pace. The Cat Returns will come as a surprise to anyone expecting another Whisper of the Heart. She must turn to The Baron, a cat who spends his days in a shop window as a statuette, and a grumpy, fat stray cat, Muta, to help rescue her from the strange parallel world of the cats. Soon, Haru is being whisked away by the King of Cats who wants her to marry his son the Prince. When she saves a cat crossing a busy street, that cat turns out to be a Prince from the Kingdom of Cats. The story follows average high school girl Haru, whose life is rather quiet outside of spending time with her best friend, and who isn’t too popular in her school. Based on a manga by Hiiragi Aoi, The Cat Returns ( 猫の恩返し) has a completely different look and feel than Whisper of the Heart, and also lacks the involvement of Miyazaki. The “fat cat” and The Baron from Miyazaki Hayao and Kondô Yoshifumi’s endearing drama Whisper of the Heart return in this updated fantasy/comedy from director Morita Hiroyuki.
