    simply beautiful

    as with all studio ghibli productions, this film is simply beautiful.

    an enchanting tale for all ages of a girl who discovers that there's more to cats than most people think, not only can some of them talk, but they have their own land, king and political strife.

    Beautiful Artwork

    Nice animation and storyline but there are other more superior Japanese anime movies available, such as Grave of the Fireflies and Spirited Away. Don't get me wrong, the film isn't bad, and my 7 year old daughter who is really into Japanime loved it, but she didn't talk about it much afterwards as it didn't have a lasting impression like other movies of this genre have had on her. It's worth watching though, especially if you are into cats!
