The Cat Returns

"Another enjoyable fantasy adventure from Studio Ghibli." – Wally Hammond, Time Out

In this sequel to Whisper of the Heart, the King of Cats visits quiet suburban schoolgirl Haru after she saves his son from certain death. Showering her with gifts – including a large supply of individually wrapped live mice – the King decrees Haru shall marry the cat prince and come to live as a princess in the secret Kingdom of Cats. Pitched into this fantastical feline world, Haru must find her inner strength to make her way back home. This film is appropriate for ages 6+
