The film has some of Miyazaki's exquisite timing, pacing and use of space.
April 01, 2006
There's little tension or opportunity for emotional involvement in the brief story, and despite competent animation the cats are rarely anthropomorphised to good comic effect. One for anime -- and animal -- lovers only.

despite its exquisite artwork and expert voice cast, this still looks a bit like the bedraggled runt of the Ghibli litter.
September 01, 2008
Interesting and watchable, but definitely not up to Miyazaki's standards.

The Cat Returns...is all fluff, but it's cute and enjoyable fluff at the very least.

Director Morita does an exemplary job of bringing a Japanese graphic novel to the screen.

The story whisks gracefully along with little saunters and pitter-patters of humour. A Princess-and-the-Cat tale that also coolly reflects the arrogant aloofness, suave superciliousness and intriguing independence of man's best-when-convenient friend.

[Director] Morita has a slightly cruder, more realistic sense of the world and its looniness than does Miyazaki, and you can see where The Cat Returns moves on a different track even as it pays homage to Japan's current animation master.

...moves along at a brisk clip and features a bright, vibrant animation style...

Another enjoyable fantasy adventure from Studio Ghibli.

Undeniably sweet, but it is also undeniably slight, and not remotely as visually rich as we've all come to expect from Studio Ghibli.

Catchy entertainment for kids and adults...
