Posted by CNE on 12.21.2004, 08:32 AM: Isn't Muta's real name actually Renaldo Moon.. or am I completely mistaken? I always thought The Cat Returns to be one of the stories that Shizuku wrote in Whisper of the heart. But then again I might just be mistaken. |
Posted by Roarkiller on 12.23.2004, 09:27 AM: Yeah well, in the original Mimi manga, there were 2 cats, Moon and Luna. I'm not sure which came first, but the name Muta later stuck with Hiiragi's cat characters. My guess is that Yoshifumi Kondou (or maybe the scriptwriter) decided to name the cat Muta, and Hiiragi decided to follow suit in her manga sequel and the Neko manga.

Posted by catsafari on 06.07.2013, 01:10 PM: Actually, The Cat Returns initially started out as a project requested by a Japanese theme park for a 20min short starring cats; Miyazuki WANTED it to have Muta/Renaldo Moon, Baron, and an antique shop (hence the similarities). Hiiragi wrote the manga, which eventually became the film after the theme park cancelled their request.

I also have a theory that a young Mr Nishi and his musician friends from WOTH can be seen in one crowd scene. Pom Poko and WOTH are set in the same town, Tama, which is a new town built in the 60s about 35m SW of Tokyo. So the town we see being built in Pom Poko is the town Shizuku lives in, in WOTH in a story set about 30 years later.
