Description of the movie:
From the creators of the Academy Award winning “Spirited Away” comes the visually stunning “The Cat Returns”. Haru, a school girl bored by her ordinary routine, saves the life of an unusual cat, and suddenly her world is transformed beyond anything she ever imagined. The Cat King rewards her good deed with a flurry of presents, including a very shocking proposal of marriage to his son! Haru then embarks on an unexpected journey to the Kingdom of Cats, where her eyes are opened to a whole other world and her destiny is uncertain. To change her fate, she’ll need to learn to believe in herself and, in the process, she will learn to appreciate her everyday life.
Featuring the sensational voice talents of Anne Hathaway, Cary Elwes, Peter Boyle, and Elliot Gould, “The Cat Returns” is a magical animated adventure that will delight and inspire everyone.
