The Baron is voiced by Gary Elwes (who i'd never heard of until researching the film for the blog) is great in this film the voice for the character is just great, like some kind of high class bond type dude best character EVER.

And so we are introduced to one of my Top characters of the Ghibli films the head of the cat bureau "Baron Humbert von Gikkingen" or Baron for short. It's at this point in the story a mysterious voice tells Haru to "find the large white cat at the crossroads (doesn't say which streets though, hope the city only has one crossroad!) he will take you to "The Cat Bureau". As it turns out the cat is Lune, Prince of the cat kingdom.įor saving Prince Lune Haru is "hailed " with "presents" from the entire cat kingdom in gratitude including: all the mice she could eat, a garden full of cat tails (the plant, the film isn't sadistic), a good supply of Catnip and eventually Haru is shocked to discover they even want to "reward her" by making her Lune's bride. The movie follows the story of a shy Japanese schoolgirl named Haru (Anne Hathaway) who's life is turned upside down after saving a cats from being run over while walking home from school one day. The Cat Returns is a 2002 Japanese animated movie directed by Hiroyuki Morita of Studio ghibli based on a manga of the same name by Aoi Hiiragi.
