I was wondering if anyone can tell me if ghibli has other movies like (below):

"Baron" the cat from the movie "Whisper of the heart" is the same Baron (cat) from the movie "The Cat Returns".

I have read about the sequel policy... but as (above)... in my opinion is the closest to a sequel. I can fool myself into thinking the movies are somehow connected..

Welcome to the Tavern, whisperoftheheart, Welcome...

The Cat Returns is the closest to a sequel that Ghibli Studio has produced IMO, but as I understand it, it is not really a sequel despite the appearance of the "Baron"... merely a simularity... again, IMO/

Not sure about your question abt movies 'like below'?
Like WotH and The Cat Returns? then no...

My first answer pretty much coincides with your last statement, so we are together on that...

Again, welcome to the Tavern, we all hope that you like it here...

Thank you so much for your inputs husky.

@Saddletank, thank you for the link. I will be reading up on it!

Very welcoming welcome guys!

I found that "From Up on Poppy Hill" was similar to "Whisper of the Heart" in many respects.

If you're talking about realistic sorts of films - as "Whisper" is - then "Only Yesterday", "Ocean Waves", "My Neighbors the Yamadas" and "The Wind Rises" might work for you as well.

Also, as a footnote, "Mei and the Kittenbus" is the only true sequel Ghibli has produced, but sadly it's not sure whether or not it will ever be released for viewing outside the Ghibli Museum. I think of "The Cat Returns" as more of a spiritual successor. Sure, it has two returning characters, but their characterization is totally different in the two films - with the exception of Shizuku's dream sequence in "Whisper", but that's a dream sequence.
