Not bad at all!, 8 April 1999

"Koneko no Monotagari" is a rather enjoyable animal flick about a dog and cat going their own ways in the Japanese wilderness,running into danger and eventually finding their mates.The Japanese version is way better,despite the graphic kitten/puppy birth scene.

It's cute but not overly cute and the narration and poem makes it sound so much like a storybook.I prefer this over "Babe" any day!
