Loved this movie!  And I'm not even a big anime watcher.  This just appeared on our Netflix recommendations list & my husband added it to our list.

This movie is not for people who dislike mentions of witchcraft and/or the supernatural.

We watched this with our kids and we were almost as into it as they were.  A very clever story, and pay attention to how the old woman changes bit by bit through the story.  Just excellent!  There is so much attention to detail in this film; and the color is very rich.

Very fun story about a young girl cursed by a witch who finds her way to a "castle" that walks...

Howl's Moving Castleis a wonderful Japanese movie directed by a very well known man named Hayao Miyazaki.  This film is about a girl named Sophie who isturned into an old woman by the Witch of the Waste.  While Sophie seearches for a way to return her body to normal, she meets Howl, a wizard, and embarks on an adventure to try and stop the horrible war going on and in the process discovers herself and her hidden potential.  The visuals are beautiful and the aerial fight scenes are spectacular.  The characters are well developed and likable.  This movie has a great combination of romance,...

Another great addition to an extended collection of anime films from the great Miyazaki. You can tell that he take great care in perfecting the movement of his animation. I was Very impressed with the storyline and how the plot came together. I found it to be engaging and thought proviking.  The music is a wonderful and powerful addition and tells the story as well as the pictures do. It is child friendly and safe for the little eyes the watch. I was very pleased with this film.
