Watched The Cat Returns.
A simple story and lacking in depth more so, I think, than any other Ghibli film. There are some lovely moments, however, such as the almost slapstick scene when the title comes up, the cat bodyguards and the entertainment scene.
I did find it visually appealing - it reminded me of an illustrated children's story/fairytale book. Soft colours and plenty of detail, but not of the almost photo-realistic type.
