The Cat Returns/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: The Ending Theme "Kaze ni Naru" ("Like the Wind"). The acoustic version is a nice balance between an upbeat, optimistic piece, and a more sorrowful and thoughtful song.
  • Fridge Brilliance: It's been a known belief that if a black cat crosses your path, you'd get bad luck. After Haru saved Prince Lune (who seems to be a black cat), she gets showered with presents that none of them she wanted; then she gets taken away by a bunch of cats; then almost turned into a cat while in the Cat Kingdom and...it just goes on. Those who are superstitious or know of it will get this.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Several years after Anne Hathaway starred in this movie about cats, she was cast as none other than Catwoman.
  • Narm: Haru's over-the-top reaction to turning into a cat. Made even more hilarious in the Japanese version, in which she just screams "NEKO!" at the top of her lungs.
  • Squick: As if the Cat King trying to marry Haru to his son Prince Lune wasn't enough, when the prince says no, he tries to marry her himself.
