"This is an anime movie produced by Studio Colorido, one of Japan's newest animation studios, best known for 'Penguin Highway: The Mystery of the Penguins'. With a plot that will surely echo with fans of Studio Ghibli's 'The Cat Returns', 'Love of the Cat' is a story of fantasy, love, and yearning for belonging that explores much deeper topics in a very accessible way that makes it suitable for all ages. The animation is as beautiful as its story, under the joint direction of Jun'ichi Satô – known for directing the classic anime 'Sailor Moon' – and Tomotaka Shibayama – who has worked in the animation department of gems such as 'Spirited Away' and 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time'."
