The Star of Cottonland Trailers

After two-month-old kitten Chibi-neko is abandoned by her former owners, she is found by 18-year-old Tokio. Although his mother is allergic to cats and has a great fear of them, she agrees to let him keep the kitten because she fears he is becoming too withdrawn after failing his university entrance exams. Chibi-neko soon falls in love with Tokio. In her own mind, Chibi-neko is a small human who speaks in human words, although people only ever seem to hear her meow, and she believes that all humans were once kittens like her. A stray cat tells Chibi-neko of a paradise called Cottonland, where dreams can come true.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I didn't see a plot written here so I will explain it a bit. (might be little bit spoilers)Story is about a cat named Chibi-Neko who wishes to be human someday. When her owners move out, they left her stranded in the streets until a prep school student Tokio finds her. He takes her to home but there is a problem, his mother has cat allergy and she gets seizure if she touches a cat. Chibi meets another cat named Raphael. Raphael tells her about an imaginary place called ''The Cottonland'' and this place has a princess who looked exactly as Chibi (but her grown-up version).One day Raphael disappears and Chibi embarks on a journey to find him. She meets various other cats.In the end, it is really cute for a 34 years old movie. I like to watch this kind of old animation movies.
