A young woman named Sophie is cursed by the Witch of the Waste, turns into an old woman, and is unable to tell anyone of her plight. Unable to continue her job at her mother's hat shop, she goes to the ambulatory castle of the notorious wizard Howl and insinuates herself into his household. Sophie befriends Calcifer, the fire demon who powers the castle and who is bound to Howl by a contract, the terms of which Calcifer cannot reveal. They promise to help each other with their problems. Like Calcifer, Howl can also see through the Witch's spell, and he and Sophie fall in love. Sophie helps Howl confront his former teacher, and the Witch of the Waste. (from IMDB) |

Hayao Miyazaki has never failed to amaze me with the worlds he has created for the big screen. Throughout the years I have come to depend on him to wow me with his characters, dialogue, plot, and just the worlds he has put these all into. Howl's Moving Castle is no exception to that statement, as this has been his most beautiful movie that I've seen. The animation is simply amazing, and the characters are so realistic that I feel I could be standing there with them. The world is something right out of a fairy tale, and right after finishing this movie I wanted to go right back into the theatre and watch it again. A must watch for any Miyazaki fan, and even if you aren't a fan, watch this anyway.
