Neko no Ongaeshi

The Title at a Glance

Neko no Ongaeshi dates to Summer 2002, arriving as a theatrical film of a single installment, and it is complete and ready to watch from start to finish.

Viewers browsing by theme will find it filed under "adventure", "alternative world", and "animal protagonists" and animal transformation, tags that reliably describe its subject matter and mood.

It also appears in the catalog as “El Regreso del Gato” and “El reino de los gatos” — the same title, filed under its alternative names.

Behind the Production

Studio Ghibli handled the animated adaptation of a manga, bringing it to screens in Summer 2002.

As a film rather than a series, it is built to be watched in one sitting, with a self-contained arc instead of weekly stops.
