Didn't grab me at all. The story was meh, the magical kingdom did not feel like a true Ghibli paradise, the overall visual styling was not that appealing to me. I think this is my least favorite Ghibli of all, sorry. But maybe that's because this movie seems more directed at a younger audience.
Another great journey to a fantasy world from Studio Gibli.
Not as good as Spirited Away, but something that the studio's fans will surely enjoy.
To be honest, I thought this movie would be shit. But I ended up loving it so much!!!
it's cute :)
I really really loved "Whisper of the Heart" so I was very happy to see the Baron again.
A beautiful story, maybe a fairy tale. The characters are destinct from each other, standing out, and overall it is just a great family-friendly adventure, which made me gasping for all the events and world-building. It will send you into a world of mysterious wonders, waiting to get revealed in order to amaze you.
I really felt the effort in this. It is a bit hard to say that apart from the above what REALLY makes this so likeable, from the sympathic characters or just hitting the exact perfect pacing - nothing is rushed nor really standing still for too long.
This is actually a sequel or spin-off of "Whisper of the Heart", starring the baron cat again. (Which I don't think having watched yet and certainly not recently)
Be like: Princess Mononoke (likely, never watched it)...nevermind, on the trakt.tv preview screen PM looks rather bloody lol.
Maybe a more modern fairy tale version of Alice might be somewhat fitting as a description
Rating: 10/10
What an immensely cute movie. Nothing really makes sense, but I enjoyed every second of it.
It's definitely a kids movie but don't let that stop you from giggling along. I would've enjoyed this if I saw this when I was younger.
Amazing animation and an unusual/absurd storyline. It was a bit simple, probably because it's meant for a young audience. wasn't really gripped by the story but as an animator myself, I spent most of the movie marveling at the 2d animation. Overall pretty cute but meant for kids both character and story wise.
really nice fat cats !!l
Synopsis: While walking home from school, Japanese teenager Haru (Anne Hathaway) rescues a cat from the middle of a busy highway. When the cat talks to her and tells her that her good deed will be greatly repaid, she is shocked...and is even more dismayed to discover that the Cat King has arranged for her to marry his son, the prince...which would mean Haru would have to become a cat. When a voice tells her to find the Cat Bureau, the felines there vow to help her out of her predicament...but, with Haru already growing whiskers and paws, they may be too late.
Produced by Studio Ghibli.
The Good: The above plot sounds weird, doesn't it? Well, as bizarre as the storyline may seem, this movie makes it work really well. It definitely kept me gripped until the end, something that other movies from this studio (Spirited Away, The Secret World of Arrietty) didn't do. The animation is excellent, and the voice work--in the English dub, at least--was spot-on.
The Bad: The only complaint I have is that this was a bit short; seventy-five minutes is rather a low runtime for a theatrically released film.
Conclusion: Back in the day, I was a big Anne Hathaway fan...but, I'm just now seeing this. While I've moved on from her and celebrity crushes in general, I still enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I need to check out other movies from Studio Ghibli; the library I work for has plenty of them!
Score: 9/10
Furry for boys and girls but more for girls! But I like the movie!

I'd heard brilliant things about this but eh I feel nothing.
