![]() ![]() The real Muta inspires the fictional Muta in The Cat Returns. That’s also why Muta appears in both films. The idea here, and it’s a rewarding one for fans of the film series, is that Shizuku from Whisper of the Heart managed to polish the gem inside her and write her story, inspired by the Baron statue. “The Cat Returns” is obviously a reference instead to the Baron, who appeared as a statue and in a dream sequence in Whisper of the Heart. But the original Japanese title translates better as “The Cat’s Repayment”, referring to the actual plot of the film (Haru’s reward for saving the prince). “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. ![]() The Cat Returns may not have the artful mise en scene and wondrousness of Miyazaki firing on all cylinders, but it does have excitement, spectacular sequences and some nice one liners.Studio Ghibli don’t really go in for sequels. Having the meaning stated so directly and clearly is not a criticism, but just a possibly interesting comment on Studio Ghibli storytelling methods. Do this, and no matter where you are you will have nothing to fear." Family animations more often than not have a moral or a message for the children to assimilate, but Studio Ghibli tends to not spoon-feed their ideology, making the parable more subtle so that you have to work to understand it, or it enters the subconscious and the mind mulls it over. The Baron says, "Learn just one thing: always believe in yourself. Muta states that the Cat Kingdom is a dangerous place unless you believe in yourself. The life lesson is explicitly expressed in this tale. Haru will be kidnapped and forced to marry the Prince, but she needs the help of the three from The Cat Bureau: Baron Humbert, Toto, a stone crow (NB/ Toto is the name of Dorothy's dog in The Wizard of Oz), and Muta, a large white cat. There is so much detail in the backgrounds, and the cinematography is great such as the afternoon sun and a real understanding too of the use of light and shadow. The animation is beautiful, up there with the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. Her adventures really take off as she enters the cat world to prevent her impending nuptials.ĭirected by Hiroyuki Morita and released in 2002 from the awesome Studio Ghibli ( Porco Rosso, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies), this is another addition to their fantastical canon of work. A voice tells her to seek the help of The Cat Bureau. Haru definitely is against this but is unsure what to do. "The Kingdom of Cats has vowed not to rest until you are completely satisfied." However, the cats get it wrong with presents, such as mice, cat-tails and cat nip, but worst of all they want her to marry the Prince. It turns out the cat saved earlier was Prince Lune, the son of the Cat King. Things become stranger when she meets a coterie of cats that night: cat bodyguards, a spokes-cat, entourage and the Cat King (voiced by Tim Curry: Legend, Congo and Charlie's Angels), who uses phrases like, "Thanks babe" or "Chow babe". Now a reasonably normal person would think this is a dream or perhaps a hallucination, but Haru has a history of speaking to cats. The cat then proceeds to stand on his hind legs and thank Haru. On the way home from school Haru (voiced by Anne Hathaway: The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada and Brokeback Mountain) saves a cat, who is crossing the street, in a brave and daring lacrosse move scooping up the feline and depositing him safely on the other side. This juxtaposition between the real and the magical reminds of The Wizard of Oz and Mirrormask as a coming-of-age story. You just need to look for it." Then the scene cuts to the world we are accustomed to and a cow alarm clock waking a seventeen year old girl who is late for school. Opening on a beautiful house as if from a fairy tale with a cat looking out of the window dressed in top hat and tails, he, Baron Humbert, says in a cut-glass voice, "If you find yourself troubled by something mysterious or a problem that's hard to solve, there's a place you can go where you always find help.

We believe the combination of the two companies, with their complementary businesses, creates one of the most exciting and compelling equity stories in the online classifieds sector,” said Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO of Adevinta, in a statement. ![]() “With the acquisition of eBay Classifieds Group, Adevinta becomes the largest online classifieds company globally, with a unique portfolio of leading marketplace brands. That has meant that those who have established themselves in the space have played on consolidation to grow and improve their economies of scale. ![]() Some of these completely undercut the business model of the original classifieds disruptors. They include the likes of Facebook’s Marketplace but also handy mobile app-based listings services, and more. Classifieds was an obvious area for eBay to move into in the early days: it complemented its marketplace, which back then had a strong emphasis on used goods and selling items on auction rather than buying outright, and for selling by using imagery and dynamic sales pitches (something that was not second nature to many, who were migrating from newspaper ads based only on a small amount of text).īut over the years, the tech behind what constitutes a “classified ad” has changed, and so have expectations from buyers and sellers.Īnd those in the classified ads market now compete with a wide plethora of alternatives, for example, which leverage social and geographical networks to connect people to things or services they might like to buy or rent. With little needed but text and a search facility to create a very basic list of offers, classifieds were one of the first early “hits” of the internet, disrupting newspapers and one of their traditionally most consistent revenue streams (not so anymore, of course). This sale creates short-term and long-term value for shareholders and customers, while allowing us to participate in the future potential of the Classifieds business.” “eBay believes strongly in the power of community and connections between people, which has been essential to our Classifieds businesses globally. “We are pleased we reached an agreement with Adevinta that brings together two great companies,” said Jamie Iannone, CEO of eBay, in a statement. The overlap will mean a classified ad footprint of 20 countries, and the companies believe that some $150 million – $185 million in synergies will be reached through the combination. For some context, eBay’s Marketplace unit brought in revenues of $1.9 billion in the same period. In the last quarter, eBay said that Classifieds brought in revenues of just $248 million, down 3% on an as-reported basis and remaining flat on a FX-Neutral basis. Ebay meanwhile owns 12 brands in 13 countries around the world, but the business has been hard hit by the coronavirus crisis. Now, all three of those business units are no longer a part of eBay.Īdevinta is in 15 countries and prior to this deal had 35 digital products and websites. That included not just its marketplace, but classified ads, payment services (PayPal, which got spun out as a separate company) and ticketing (Viagogo acquired its Stubhub business in a $4 billion deal last year, although that is now facing some regulatory scrutiny). More generally, it caps off months of speculation about the future for the classifieds business, which has come out of long-term pressure spurred by activist investors for eBay to rationalise what had once been a sprawling e-commerce business empire (advocating for a reverse Amazon, I guess you could say). The deal makes eBay a 44% owner of Adevinta, with a 33.3% voting stake.Īdevinta’s interest in eBay was reported earlier in the week, but with the deal coming at a much lower valuation, of $8 billion. The deal is valued at $9.2 billion, which includes eBay getting $2.5 billion in cash and 540 million Adevinta shares. Today, eBay announced it had reached a deal to sell off its Classifieds business unit to Adevinta, a Norway-based classified ads publisher majority owned by Norwegian publisher Schibsted. Consolidation continues apace in the world of e-commerce, and today it was the turn of the classified ads market. ![]() ![]() ![]() This document is intended for architects, engineers, designers and homeowners who are using SketchUp as their primary 3D design tool.
