The Cat Returns is Delightful
An old buddy of mine always said this was his favorite Ghibli movie. And you know what? I can see why. ‘The Cat Returns’ is Ghibli at its simplest and most enjoyable. It feels a lot like a shojo manga. A really good, magical shojo manga that anyone can watch and have a fun time…
