I thought it was clear that the Zombie Cat IS Professor Nominos, and the reason he is missing skin, falling apart, is more crazy and has a gruffer voice, AND the reason he was first seen floating face down in a the river, is that he narrowly (and some might argue, not very successfully) escaped the fire that "broke out" at his lecture. As for whether either of them is an older version Michelangelo, I do think this was left intentionally ambiguous and open to interperitation. Elgaroo00:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While this is a valid interpretation, it is not outright stated in the film, and they are listed as separate characters in the credits. It's possible that this was the intention of the filmmakers, but none being that no escape is actually seen in the film (and indeed, if he escaped, why would he be a zombie rather than just horribly burnt) it would be inappropriate to state it as fact in an encyclopedic article without reference.
The entire Nominos/Michelangelo/Zombiecat relationship is quite ambiguous, and it might be appropriate to add a section on interpretation. Jonelvisamerica06:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the sentence that said, "The film has not been released in any English-speaking countries (other than film festival showings) but the Japanese, Region 2 DVD has English subtitles." In fact, the film did get a limited release in the United States. [1][2] --Metropolitan90(talk)01:17, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
