Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart.
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart.

Hello there, My name is Clock and I've come to create this lovely hangout to share my love of Studio Ghibli.
My love has grown more wide spread in the last little while but it was known to be as a child. The first movie I ever saw was Spirited Away, but the first movie I was ever aware of was Castle in The Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service. I've know seen almost all the movies, and own all up to 2005. My favorite of them all would have to by My Neighbor Totoro. :heart: With this little hangout I hope to bring the Ghibli lovers together, to discuss, obsess and just a friendly chat.

Follow Mene's ToS;
Don't Advertise. It's Rude;
No stretching the pages or Quote the first page;
Stay and have fun;

So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through.
I know on the other side of them I'll find you.

Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above.
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time.

As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel.
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real.

The Cat Returns is by far the best i've seen. The Baron = <3

GEAH! Second post! Nice hangout. I like. ^-^

Placebo! :glomp: I love The Cat Returns, I actually watched that one first than Whisper of The Heart ._.
Alaunt; Thank yew <3

No problem. ~.0

Oh, I love Princess Mononoke and Tales from Earthsea

The first one I ever saw was Princess Mononoke and I thought it was okay, but then I watched The Cat Returns on tv a while back and found it so good. <3 xD

What is The Cat Returns?

Alaunt; I wish I had Tales from Earthsea on DVD. D: It's one of my faves :heart:
Placebo; Mononoke was one of the ones, I just recently saw, I loved the scene were he is carrying her, and he gets shot. I thought it was amazing.

The Cat Returns: Review/Synopsis
by: Roarkiller

The latest movie from the production line of Studio Ghibli, Neko no Ongaeshi is a light-hearted movie as digestible as chicken soup. Directed by Morita Hiroyuki, the movie is based on the manga Baron, Neko no Danshaku by Hiiragi Aoi, who is also the author of Mimi wo Sumaseba and its sequel Mimi wo Sumaseba: Shiawase na Jikan.

Neko no Ongaeshi is similar to the critically-acclaimed movie Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi by Miyazaki Hayao in the sense that it begins in normal Japan and shifts to a parallel world later in the story. There, the similarity stops and a whole new adventure begins.

The story is about a typical Japanese girl Haru who seems to have a nack in getting into mishaps. One day, she saves a cat from being run over by a truck. The cat turns out to be the prince of the Cat Kingdom and, in return of the favor, the king has decreed that the whole kingdom tries its best to repay her kindness. Unfortunately for her, none of the 'gifts' were fitting for a human, and to add to her troubles, she was also decreed to be married to the prince that she saved.

The movie in general borders along humor and fantasy, leaning more towards the former. Haru's naiveness and the antics of the cats will definitely put a smile and a laugh into your mouth. No one is evil and there are no bad guys. In fact, the worst character is simply an over-eccentric father whose acts seem to be more on the naughty side than evil.

The storyline is simple yet entertaining, the animation splendid as is the trademark of Studio Ghibli. The music is enlightening, although one might notice, if observant enough, that some of the music pieces are recycled from the movie Mimi wo Sumaseba. The theme song, done by Tsuji Ayano, has such a great feel-good factor that it will remain playing in your head long after you come out of the theatre.

@Clock: Haha. I just love the wolves in it. <3 And those little spirit things with the rattley heads. <3

[cetner]I would think so. ^-^ Otherwise it wouldn't be there. ^-^[/center]

Alaunt; -Posted a summary of The Cat Returns, in previous post-
Placebo; Those spirit things were adorable. <3

OH! Sounds like a nice movie! *must watch*

Alaunt; You must! I recommend them all! Haha xD I have my faves though :heart:

I'll get around to them when I'm done with my current obsession. *is watching Flipper*

Alaunt; I haven't seen Flipper, in so long >_<

Oh. I've never watched it before. I'm most of the way through season 1.

I want my own pet Rattle-Head~~<3
Or just the Baron. <3

Alaunt; I never watched the whole thing, just episodes here and there when there wasn't anything else to watch. I was a more Sailor Moon, Pokemon, TMNT, Power Rangers child (:
Placebo; Or just.. both (:
