11/2/2023 0 Comments Toto the cat returnsIt started as an animated short commissioned for a Japanese theme park ride when that project fell through, Hayao Miyazaki tasked his animators with expanding it. The Cat Returns’ origins are about as weird as you’ll find for any Studio Ghibli film. The only ones willing to help her are the debonair, swashbuckling Baron (a well-dressed, talking cat), Muta (an oversized talking cat), and Toto (a raven, also able to talk.) When she’s whisked away, unwillingly, to the Cat Kingdom, it’s up those three to mount a rescue mission of their own. This good deed turns out to be a huge mistake: the feline she saved is the prince of the Cat Kingdom, and its king is determined to kidnap Haru and make her marry his (cat) son. Haru is a bashful teenager who risks her life to rescue a cat from being run over in traffic.
