What is The Cat Returns about?
Young Haru rescues a cat from being run over, but soon learns it's no ordinary feline; it happens to be the Prince of the Cats.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
A young girl's kind act leads her into a whimsical, feel-good adventure with the Prince of Cats.
Uplifting, with wholesome humor. A family watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Max.
