Prince Luna, though, doesn't really want Haru, he wants to marry Yuki. They find a way out in a tower that has a portal to the normal world. The Cat King wants Haru to stay in the Cat Kingdom and become his daughter-in-law, so he tries to stop the three from escaping. The palace guards attack Baron, and he, Haru and Muta have to flee from the castle in a tunnel shown to them by a sympathetic female white cat servant Yuki ( Judy Greer). Baron tells her at dinner that she can continue becoming a cat if that is her destiny, it all depends on what she wants. Haru turns partly into a cat with tan paws, ears and whiskers so that she will make a suitable bride for Prince Luna. Haru and Muta are taken to the Cat Kingdom while Toto and the Baron follow behind to the entrance to the Cat Kingdom, which is a sequence of lakes forming the image of a cat's paw. Both the Baron and Toto are statues that can come to life. There, Haru meets Muta ( Peter Boyle), a large white cat, who takes her to see the Baron ( Cary Elwes), the Cat Bureau's founder, and Toto ( Eliott Gould) a raven. Haru has second thoughts and, guided by a sweet female voice, visits the Cat Bureau to straighten things out.
The King interprets her reaction to have accepted the offer. She is confused when his father, the King of Cat ( Tim Curry)s, comes that night to offer his son in marriage as a reward. She saves the life of a cat with odd eyes one day and he turns out to be Luna, Prince of the Cats ( Andrew Bevis). Haru ( Anne Hathaway: all actors listed are from the anime dubbed in English version) is a shy and quiet high school student is know for being able to talk with cats. In " The Cat Returns" ( 2002), directed by Hiroyuki Morita, Studio Ghibli was able to assemble an outstanding American voice cast to have the anime dubbed in English. Anime dubbed in English requires artistic choices to suit the English-speaking markets. Whether such anime dubbed in English changes are an improvement or detract from the viewing experience is difficult to say. Phil Harman, for example, did a funny but notorious voice-over for the cat in Kiki's Delivery Service that, as anime dubbed in English, changed the character from a sweet, shy little thing into a wise-cracking know-it-all more palatable to Western audiences. Are we not overfed with western-made films already? To new MTRCB chair, heed my request, change the game, take JapaneseĪnimated films like thos showing to local cinemas.You can get into endless fights on the Internet over whether anime dubbed in English is as good as the original Japanese It all depends on the actors and execution as to whether or not your typical anime dubbed in English works as well as intended.

In my opinion, Philippines' Movie & Television Review & Classification Board (MTRCB), the governing body who decide what films to release here in this country, think this film will not generate money. Well, I think, this animation film didn't reach Philippines back 2002. Why i did not knew about this back 2002? I became familiar with Anne Hathaway with her role in The Princess Diaries film back in 2001 but not her dubbing this good animation. I saw Anne Hathaway's name in the ending credits (see screenshot below): I am surprised about who dubbed Haru in this anime film. Popular Actress Dubbed The English Version of this Film: She just changed after exiting the Kingdom of Cats. Haru stare at them.ĭid she assumed Machida (her crush), pregnated his ex-girlfriend? Well, Machida wouldn't like her in the first place because she's messing all around (first part of the story). Then, two young moms (i just think they're young) passed by. Haru's friend gossiped that Machida broke up with his girlfriend. Haru stare at them and said "That's too bad." (see screenshots below): I noticed something in the ending part of the story where Haru and her friend saw two young moms passed by carting their babies.
I would recommend this to young ones, to my niece, I think. Though it's a little old, the quality of the animation is still fine. There is good humour to it aside to her talking to cats.
