Possibly the Ghibli film least tethered to reality, The Cat Returns takes the elegant cat statue character from Whisper of the Heart and really runs with it, sending protagonist Haru on an Alice in Wonderland-like journey through a magical cat kingdom. The English voice dub has some delightfully odd casting choices, such as Peter Boyle as Haru's fat white cat guide and Elliott Gould as a raven named Toto. If you're a cat person, it's a colorful imagining of what a cat society could look like. If you're not a cat person, it's a lot to take. — C.H.
