So she sets out for school to meet a friend and chivy a teacher into letting her borrow yet another book from the library. Still, Shizuku can't help wondering just who Seiji Amasawa might be. Hopefully he isn't anything like that annoying boy who poked fun at her song lyrics.

I think it really shows the battle going on with a lot of young people, between their passion and what they should most likely do with their lives.
- A semi-spin-off film entitled The Cat Returns that focused on a minor character of the film, Baron, was released in 2002.
- A 1995 Studio Ghibli film, originally titled Mimi o Sumaseba/耳をすませば (If You Listen Closely). Book-loving junior high school student Shizuku Tsukushima notices someone named Seiji Amasawa has previously checked out all of her library books. While she's intrigued by the notion of a boy who shares her interests in literature she's got to get cracking if she wants to achieve her goal of reading 30 books over summer vacation. So she sets out for school to meet a friend and chivy a teacher into letting her borrow yet another book from the library. Still, Shizuku can't help wondering just who Seiji Amasawa might be. Hopefully he isn't anything like that annoying boy who poked fun at her song lyrics. The next day Shizuku spots a cat riding the train. Intrigued, she follows it to an antique shop owned by a kindly old man named Nishi where she finds a striking cat figurine dressed in formal wear that Mr. Nishi calls the Baron. When Shizuku returns to the shop hoping to see the Baron again she learns that the annoying boy is not only Nishi-san's grandson, he's also Seiji Amasawa! Seiji may not be anything like she imagined but he's very passionate about making violins and Shizuku is soon smitten by his enthusiasm. And when he tells her that he'd been deliberately checking out books hoping to make her notice him... Subplots include the trials of junior high romance for Shizuku's friends and Shizuku's efforts to translate John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" into a Japanese version for her school's chorus club. The movie is bookended by Oliva Newton-John's 1973 cover version (which was a big hit in Japan) and the film's Japanese version, sung by Yoko Honna. Based on a manga by Aoi Hiiragi, serialized in Ribon Original magazine. Whisper of the Heart was the masterwork of Yoshifumi Kondo, who was widely expected to become the first of a new generation of Studio Ghibli directors before his premature death from a brain aneurysm in 1998. The Cat Returns is a semi-Sequel, as it was conceived as a story written by Shizuku after she grows up to become a novelist.
