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.

Howl's Moving Castle is a great movie to watch with children.  I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.  I would recommend it to anyone.
