            Another one of Hayao Miyazaki's films. A young high school girl named Haru has a crush on a handsome boy in her school, but he already has a girlfriend. When Haru saves a cat from being run over, it turns out that he is actually the prince of a kingdom of cats! With the king pushing for them to be engaged, Haru must receive the help of some legendary Baron. Be swept off into a whole new world with them! While and excellent story, if you are looking for something thrilling and mystical, this is not it. It has more of a light-hearted, real world flavor.
