A fascinating and fun insight into Japanese culture and spirituality. A somewhat random plot about tree spirits and cat buses that appear when a family move house. Certainly keeps the kids (young and old) entertained.
For the rare opportunity of seeing a good children's cartoon with non-American values I would recommend this. It does however have American voice overs. I thought it would be like Pom poko but it is even more gentle.
Beautifully drafted, pleasing story and Toronto and the Cat Bus. Another clever contribution from this venerable studio.
