This has been my least favorite movie of the Studio Ghibli Fest movies that I have watched. It was cute and definitely worth seeing once. I wouldn’t care to watch it again. I think it would be very entertaining for children.
I LOVE CATS
As with much of Miyazaki’s own output, the film offers a winning heroine and a joyful dip into Japanese folklore, even if it does not stand up against the studios most celebrated works.
The results are disappointingly conventional for a Ghibli film—the film is good-hearted, energetic, and full of Ghibli's characteristically beautiful hand-rendered animation, but it's also lightweight and hyper, with none of Miyazaki's more resonant themes.
