The Cat Returns Ratings & Reviews

Variety
Lisa Nesselson
Catchy entertainment for kids and adults...
Denver Post
Michael Booth
[Director] Morita has a slightly cruder, more realistic sense of the world and its looniness than does Miyazaki, and you can see where The Cat Returns moves on a different track even as it pays homage to Japan's current animation master.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...moves along at a brisk clip and features a bright, vibrant animation style...
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The film has some of Miyazaki's exquisite timing, pacing and use of space.
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
The crescendo of craziness makes for a brisk, funny, and wholly unique 75-minute ride.
eFilmCritic.com
Uri Lessing
While the cats in this film are sentient, their attitude and egocentric behavior is strictly feline.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
With the frantic, infernal energy (and cats) and even a little of the barbed social satire of Mikhail Bulgakov's Master and Margarita.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
there are enough fun moments to make Cat worthwhile, especially if you're a fan of our feline friends
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Pleasant if unexceptional.
IGN Movies
Sergio Non
This movie exhibits a craft that belies Morita's inexperience as a director.

While not the greatest Studio Ghibli film by any measure, I was thoroughly entertained by the creative and strange story of a young girl and her adventures in a world of cats.
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
When it comes to grand fantasy tales of little girls lost in wonderfully strange worlds, The Cat Returns is no Spirited Away. Still, it's a serviceable children's adventure film, with some memorable moments.
Movie Mezzanine
Christopher Runyon
The Cat Returns...is all fluff, but it's cute and enjoyable fluff at the very least.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Undeniably sweet, but it is also undeniably slight, and not remotely as visually rich as we've all come to expect from Studio Ghibli.
TV Guide
Robert Pardi
Director Morita does an exemplary job of bringing a Japanese graphic novel to the screen.
