“The Cat Returns”: that really sounds like a sequel, doesn’t it. The first thing to recognise here is that the title is misleading, and that only happens for the English translation. There is one slight exception to that, and it’s hardly a sequel at all, but The Cat Returns is strongly connected to Whisper of the Heart. But the Studio seems to have an admirable approach of always looking forward and doing something fresh and different. Several other films are ripe for a sequel, My Neighbour Totoro in particular. Spirited Away won an Oscar, but never got a sequel. Studio Ghibli don’t really go in for sequels.
