"Neko no shukai"("A Gathering of Cats")was part of "Ani*Kuri15", a series of fifteen 1-minute shorts done by different Japanese animators (Like Mamoru Oshii, Shōji Kawamori, Mahiro Maeda and Satoshi Kon)
Here, Makoto Shinkai (Director of "5 Centimeters Per Second" and "Voices of a Distant Star") does a charming homage to the films done by Studio Ghibli (The character designs reminded me a lot the visual style of Katsuya Kondō, the artist responsible for the character designs in most of the movies done by that company) with a cute and funny story which is quite enjoyable to watch and appropriate for all audiences.
Definitely a worth-watching work.
