About
An animated coming-of-age story in which a chance encounter with a mysterious cat sends Shizuku, a dreamy schoolgirl, on a quest for her true talent. Guided by Seiji, a boy chasing his dreams, and by The Baron, an antique cat figurine, she embarks on an adventure beyond the boundaries of her imagination. It was directed by veteran animator Yoshifumi Kondo, with a screenplay and storyboards from Hayao Miyazaki, and stars Yoko Honna, Issei Takahashi and Takashi Tachibana.

Critics
7.8Very good
Critics praise the film's honest portrayal of adolescence, its warmth, and its grounded sense of wonder. Some fault a loose narrative focus and an ending that strikes a few as jarring or controversial.
