Posted by Demonskrye on 04.01.2005, 01:19 PM: Thanks for the comments, Roarkiller. I don't recall if I mentioned that I haven't seen "Whisper of the Heart" yet, so I was mainly going by what was said in the documentary on the DVD and on Nausicaa.net regarding the connection between the two films. (The documentary indicates that the author considers the story of "The Cat Returns" to be another story written by Shizuku from "Whisper", which could help to explain why Muta's appearence changes between the two films. I'm still wondering why Disney chose to release "Cat Returns" before "Whisper". Maybe they're concerned about the rather young protagonists getting engaged at the end?) If the Japanese title does indeed translate to "A favor a cat owes", then I suppose "the cat" could refer to any number of cats (The Cat King, Prince Lune, or Yuki), but probably not Baron, who helps Haru out of the goodness of his heart more than any sense of obligation to her. I can see why Disney opted for a shorter, easier to understand title, but I'm sorry I wasn't aware of this prior to writing my review. Guess I'm not up to Ghibli fanatic status quite yet.

Posted by starhawk on 04.02.2005, 05:16 AM: I was split about the synthesizer music. On one hand, I thoughti t helped accentuate the sci-fi mood of the film; on the other, it did give the film an older, 80's feel, which may delight some- especially those who love 80's sci-fi- but it might turn off others. |
