Cat Castle is traditional in its design, with towers and spires.
Several stately cats, a carriage, and standard-bearers carrying flags topped with an ornamental fish make up the royal processional. Aw, such charming touches are one reason Hiroyuki Morita was chosen by Studio Ghibli to direct The Cat Returns. When the cats carry Haru and Muta through the sky, they see a cluster of lakes shaped like a kitty paw. By dangling the promise of a fancy good time in front of her, he convinced Haru to meet with The Cat King.īefore we get into the deep dive, I must note something I noticed it belongs in the previous article, but it's just so cute, I want to mention it here. When we last analyzed The Cat Returns, adorable toady, and aid to the Cat King, Notoru (Andy Richter) had found Haru (Anne Hathaway) and Muta (Peter Boyle) in a little peasant village on the outskirts of Cat Castle.
