"
Howl's Moving Castle" by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli is one of the best animated movies of this time. Based on the book by Diana Wynne Jones, the movie centers around 18-yr-old Sophie who runs a hat shop. She lives a very ordinary and dull life in a very extraordinary world full of wizards and witches. That is, until she meets the very handsome Howl, a wizard notoriusly known for stealing the hearts of young girls. This meeting sets off a whole new and exciting adventure in which Sophie gets transformed into an old woman by a jealous witch, sets off to find Howl in his magnificent, great, moving castle, and makes new friends along the way. In addition to this, Sophie finds love and learns of the dark secrets that are hidden in Howl's past. With this adventure, Sophie also learns to live in the exciting world she is surrounded in and
not just dwell in the little hat shop that isolates her from everything else. I truly recommend this movie for anyone no matter what genre you prefer. This movie is captivating and very imaginative. It features the voices of Jean Simmons, Christian Bale, Emily Mortimer, Billy Crystal, and more. The movie has also been nominated for, as well as won, many awards. If you like this movie,
"Spirited Away", also by Hayao Miyazaki, is something you should see.
