Does anyone know his full name? Every where it's credited, it's just "baron". But in the movie, wasn't it Baron Von Bon Blah Blah Blah? I can't remember and I don't want to rent it again to find out. Thanks!

In Whisper of the Heart the antique shop owner calls him Baron Humbert Von Jikkingen, but in The Cat Returns it's Baron Humbert Von Gikkingen. I personally prefer the second one.

just as an aside, the Baron's *home* is a real place. The little town piazza in which he lives is taken directly from *Italia in Miniattura* a miniature theme park just outside Rimini. I'd taken my kids there a few years ago and we all instantly recognised it when we were watching the dvd of The Cat Returns.

He wasn't in at the time, though :)

That looks like an interesting place to visit.
I also found some pictures with cats! of the place:
