Catnapped · review
Totsuzen! Neko no Kuni Banipal Witt, also known as Catnapped! The Movie, is an extremely charming children's movie about the secret world of cats. I was extremely fortunate to find this movie at Media Play (I've had this movie for THAT long...Media Play was still in business! xD) and I've been hooked ever since. This is definitely one to bring home to the kids. The storyline is simple and fun for kids, and the animation is simple but entertaining. There are plenty of humorous moments to cheer on the progress, and once you hear the ending theme song, Yume He No Tobira, I challenge you totry to get it out of your head! :D
If you're a Miyazaki fan (though, who isn't?), though this isn't a Miyazaki creation, Catnapped! The Movie is a fantasy-based film centered around animals, which Miyazaki is well known for. It's also got the same sort of magical action sequences we've come to love and expect from Miyazaki's films. However, if you only seem to find yourself in the more dark, dramatic animes, this may not be the film for you; It is a film intended for children so it has cheerful elements.
Don't forget to add Totsuzen! Neko no Kuni Banipal Witt to your Queue! This is a thoroughly enjoyable film I think you'll come to love. Enjoy!
